Zaïre-Emery’s striking message on Luis Enrique’s high standards

Warren Zaïre-Emery, a 19-year-old midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke in the mixed zone during PSG's Media Day. It was an opportunity to discuss their 2nd place in Ligue 1, possible fatigue, and the demands of coach Luis Enrique.

Zaïre-Emery "There is no worry."

Worried after losing first place? There is no worry. There are many matches left. We have a good atmosphere in training, we continue to progress and see what works least among us. We know the championship is difficult with many matches. Our opponents analyze us and change. We also have to change and use video to see what we need to improve on. We can't always be at the top, but we have to continue in this direction. A tired group? Luis Enrique gives us as much rest as possible so we can clear our heads. We all have the same goal of wanting to win the Champions League a second time and to win all possible trophies.

Zaïre-Emery "The coach supports everyone regardless of age."

The demands of Luis Enrique? He is never satisfied. Vitinha is the best in the world, yet he is always on his case. Even he doesn't let him go. The experienced players are also there for us, but the coach supports everyone regardless of age. The reception of Rennes? We prepare for all matches in the same way. We are good, it's a great Ligue 1 team."

There is no question of panicking, even if the media and supporters quickly turn negative. We knew the start of the season would be complicated given the sequence and lack of preparation. PSG is not doing too badly, both in terms of content and results.

It's less convincing than the second half of last season, which was exceptional. It was unthinkable to always be just as strong. We also need to work to find new solutions, as opponents particularly anticipate Paris and are more prepared for its style.

The Parisians are not giving up, they are still hungry for victories and titles. Coach Luis Enrique is there to prevent any relaxation. Since this summer, he has only talked about the desire to improve further and win again.

Moreover, we should not forget that PSG has improved on set pieces, in particular. Now, they need to build up physically and recover the injured players.
