Danilo reveals his favourites at PSG!

Danilo Pereira, former Paris Saint-Germain player, shared his most memorable experiences in the Parisian locker room in an interview with Onze Mondial. The Portuguese midfielder notably mentioned two players who left a deep impression on him: Marco Verratti and the young Warren Zaïre-Emery (19 years old), a symbol of the new Parisian generation.

Danilo "It was incredible!"

The two players who impressed you the most? "First, I say it every day: it's Marco (Verratti). With the ball, without the ball... it was incredible! The way he also talks to people... He's a midfielder I had never seen before, a complete player. Then, I would say Warren (Zaïre-Emery). At 16 or 17 years old, he was doing incredible things. He hasn't played much lately, but I think he still has room for improvement and can go far. He's a very nice young man whom I like a lot."

Danilo Pereira's words resonate as a bridge between two eras of Paris Saint-Germain. On one side, Marco Verratti, the timeless genius of short play, whom the Portuguese describes as "complete" both with and without the ball, embodying an intuitive and elegant football that shaped the QSI version of PSG. On the other, Warren Zaïre-Emery, whom he saw emerge at just 16, impressed by his early maturity and calm amidst the Parisian tumult. Danilo's observation is clear-sighted: the young captain of the Espoirs is going through a quieter phase, but his potential remains immense. In one sentence, Danilo sums up the invisible transmission that keeps PSG alive: from Verratti to Zaïre-Emery, the midfield baton continues to pass from hand to hand.
