Cabaye tempers the Zaïre-Emery example, reminding of the demands at PSG | OneFootball

In Le Parisien, Yohan Cabaye, now the director of the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy, highlights the high standards surrounding the club’s young players. He mentions Warren Zaïre-Emery (19 years old) and Senny Matulu (19 years old) to emphasize that the emergence of the Titis relies as much on talent as it does on discipline and academic seriousness.

Cabaye: “Patience is an important virtue”

Cabaye is not trying to shatter the myth, but rather to bring a bit of gravity to the euphoria surrounding Paris Saint-Germain’s young players. His message is clear: Warren Zaïre-Emery is not the norm but an absolute exception, a rare talent whose meteoric rise should not be seen as a model to follow.

On the contrary, he values the more traditional progression of Senny Matulu, 19, whose learning curve has been marked by stops, comebacks, and perseverance. For Cabaye, this is where the truth of the profession lies: PSG develops players, but also responsible individuals, where academic efforts count as much as those made on the pitch. He reminds us that a shortcoming in one area leads to sporting consequences, proof that the club wants to build lasting careers, not flashes in the pan.
