Press review: No PSG fans for PSG v Marseille, Zaïre-Emery evolving | OneFootball

This Tuesday, January 6, the French press (on the sporting side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s increasingly powerful attack, the Trophée des Champions on Thursday in Kuwait against Olympique de Marseille (kick-off at 7 p.m. French time, broadcast on Ligue1+) with no Parisian supporters traveling, and a Warren Zaïre-Emery (19-year-old midfielder) who could fully become a right-back.

L’Equipe –

The Parisian attack is regaining strength, Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) and Désiré Doué (20-year-old midfielder/forward) are finally stringing games together. This brings a nice dose of extra talent and creativity. It also allows for a better distribution of playing time, as Bradley Barcola (23) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24) were running out of steam at the end of 2025. Let’s hope the good news continues and that PSG will have a full or nearly full squad again in the coming weeks (Lee Kang-In, Matvey Safonov, and Quentin Ndjantou are still injured).

At least, Zaïre-Emery is still a player who fits perfectly into coach Luis Enrique’s plans with his versatility. The midfielder has been playing matches as a right-back during Achraf Hakimi’s long absence (injury and now the AFCON). And he’s adapting. More comfortable in play, he’s starting to contribute offensively, even if he doesn’t have the same profile as his Moroccan teammate. Defensively, he’s still just as strong and is thus a real solution on the right. That should be very useful for PSG, and possibly also for the French national team. But the Titi can also continue in midfield. The main thing is that he finds his best form again after a complicated period. As often happens, some people called time on his career too soon.

As for the Trophée des Champions, unfortunately there weren’t enough supporters interested in PSG’s offer to make the trip. It’s understandable, a trip to Kuwait is no small thing. That’s the downside of this relocation. But it will also allow others to see the match, possibly with supporters on site. Even if it won’t have the atmosphere of the Parc des Princes.
