According to L'Équipe, Warren Zaïre-Emery sought a meeting with Didier Deschamps during the 2026 World Cup to discuss his playing time, hoping to avoid a repeat of Euro 2024 when he did not feature.
Usually reserved, the PSG midfielder asked what he needed to do to play more and to make clear a degree of frustration.
Zaïre-Emery stayed on the bench until the quarter-finals, then logged 19 minutes against Morocco, a 2-0 win.
He did not get extended minutes until after France were eliminated, completing 90 minutes against England in the third-place match, which ended 4-6.
The 20-year-old’s request underlined his push for clarity over his role with the national team.
