“My turn to break free”, Zaïre-Emery speaks out boldly!

Warren Zaïre-Emery, the 19-year-old midfielder from Paris Saint-Germain, was at a press conference this Tuesday on the sidelines of the France Espoirs team gathering. He particularly spoke about his loss of confidence and his need to "free" himself.

Zaïre-Emery "He tries to give me back this confidence, to find this ability that I had last season."

Returning to Espoirs? "My return, I'm living it well. The goal is not to stay in Espoirs for a long time. There is the World Cup this summer. A goal to be at the World Cup? It's the biggest global competition. So yes, clearly a goal. How to judge the start of the season? I've had good games and two or three a little less good. We must continue in this momentum, keep the positive and forget what is negative or learn from these games. What needs to be improved? My goal is to improve everything, whether it's technique or tactics. I talk a lot with the coach (Luis Enrique, NDLR). He tries to give me back this confidence, to find this ability that I had last season.

Zaïre-Emery "I hold myself back."

I hold myself back. I know I have the ability to play but confidence plays a little bit. It's up to me in my head to free myself, to play as I know how with this carefreeness." When was the loss of confidence? Maybe after the injury (early 2025, NLDR), the coach rotated the team and I wouldn't say it affected me, but suddenly I was playing less.", comments relayed by RMC Sport.

It's interesting to see these comments from Zaïre-Emery, full of honesty, determination and with some doubts. The Titi feels that he has lost confidence and needs to turn the situation around. Coach Luis Enrique is trying to help him, as he has done for other players. We can see that all is not lost, as the midfielder has had some more interesting performances.

However, more consistency and a slightly more daring game are needed at times. At least, Zaïre-Emery has regained some impact in duels and penetration. Now it's time to regain precision and dare to create more opportunities.

We trust the young midfielder, always very hardworking, to get back on track. But we also see the impact of mentality on performance. This may be the biggest enemy of professional players. There is still a promising career possible for the Titi, it would be great if he could reach the World Cup. We count on the entire club and the supporters to support him.
