Montpellier – PSG (1-3): “A lot of people fell on him”: Warren Zaire-Emery, the titi has guts

He has talent. But not only. Doubt could have invaded Warren Zaire-Emery. He had to dwell on this uncertain header against Reims last Sunday. A technical error paid at a high price. A few seconds later, the untenable Folarin Balogun had exploited it perfectly by signing the equalizing goal for Reims at the Parc des Princes (1-1), in the last moments of added time. The 16-year-old could have said to himself that he had cost his team two points, and come out bruised from this painful experience. Three days later, it really did not feel.

Doubt, Zaire-Emery could not dispel it better. He achieved this tour de force on an action that says everything about his qualities. An innate sense of anticipation and an amazing physical impact at his age to cut a Montpellier counter. A school one-two, a forward throw full of determination, and perfect ball handling to get into the box. A glance left to see Hugo Ekitiké and Leo Messi. He had reasons to choose the pass. But the strike angle was open. And Zaire-Emery did not shirk his responsibilities when scoring.

A DAY AGO

At the end of this action, there was a goal to ensure three crucial points for PSG. And a record that speaks volumes. One more, already. The midfielder trained in Paris had already become the youngest player to play a pro match with the first team. He is now also the youngest scorer in the history of the capital club. “I did not knowhe admitted frankly at the microphone of Canal +. It’s awesome ! I often project myself, finally, I try to do it as much as possible. Today it paid off by leading to that first goal, so I’m taking it. I hope there will be others.”

“A very important player in the squad”

It took guts to go through with this action three days after making the first mistake of his young career. It was also necessary to revive such a young player in this context, in a match of such importance for PSG. Christophe Galtier had a nose. Zaire-Emery’s response is also that of a coach who went after his idea. “I’m very happy for him because he’s a Parisian titirejoiced the technician. I wanted to bring him back after the game against Reims. It was tough for him because a lot of people fell on him after he recovered from the header.”

Zaire-Emery agreed with his coach. It was necessary that. Galtier had enough to say that the fate was against him at La Mosson. He lived a terrible first half hour there, between the two penalties missed by Kylian Mbappé, the injury exit of the PSG star striker then that of Sergio Ramos. It was not easy for him to leave this evening with reasons for hope. That Zaire-Emery scores in the wake of his error against Reims is one, beyond a victory won in such delicate conditions.

The young Parisian midfielder gave a good overview of his talent. But above all, he showed all his respondent. An essential character to complete his arsenal when taking up a huge challenge, that of winning in an overcrowded midfield at PSG. Zaire-Emery has taken a significant step in this direction. “He is a very important player in the squad.“, assured Galtier at a press conference. His choice to put him back in the saddle immediately after Reims was in line with this. And the titi did not fail to seize this chance.
