Called up for the first time in his young career in the France A team last fall, Warren Zaire-Emery (18 years old) has since always appeared in Didier Deschamps’ group, like the Blues rally during the international break in March. The young PSG midfielder was therefore not a surprise in the list of 25. However, despite a more delicate second half of the season at club, his presence surprised Daniel Riolo. The editorialist of RMC remains doubtful about the selection of Warren Zaire-Emery.

“I don’t understand why it’s so obvious to people that Zaire-Emery is on the list. We’re talking about an 18-year-old kid, who had a good first part of the season and in the second half showed a lot of limitations and fatigue. Taking him to the Euro, sorry, I’m not questioning his qualities, but that he’s already at the Euro, at his age, with half a season, sorry, it’s a surprise. (…) Zaire-Emery is a surprise, just like Barcola. Young people, first season at the high level, a handful of really successful matches, promises but no more than that… They are not assertive people after all”he declared in theAfter Foot.
