Through an anecdote, the former French international, Gaël Clichy, highlighted the exceptional talent of Warren Zaire-Emery.
Guest on the show Zack on a Free Wheel, Gaël Clichy, the former French left-back, shared a remarkable anecdote about Warren Zaire-Emery, the young Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.
Clichy, who is a member of Thierry Henry’s staff with the French Espoirs, recounts a match situation where Zaire-Emery, then captain of the team, showed an exemplary state of mind.
” It’s incredible “
“He is not attracted to the ball to score the goal because it is 0-0. He is in position. There is a cons. He does a check (he turns his head to his right) he sees the opposite winger leaving and you see him, he turns, ducks, and sprints 60 meters head down. There is a center at ground level. If he doesn’t come back, there’s a goal. He comes back and clears for a corner,” he said.
“That’s what makes Warren Warren.” His quality as a player is there. At that time he was captain of the U21 side, but I don’t think there are many who could have behaved that way. It’s incredible. We said to ourselves: “We won’t have him for next month”, and there was no shortage of that,” thus judged the former Manchester City player.
