“Warren, congratulations!
My little crack, he goes down in history too, it's good.
“In the Parisian locker room, after the great success in Clermont (5-0) at the start of the championship, Presnel Kimpembe takes on the role of big brother.
A pat on the shoulder, a good word and an Instagram story to top it all off.
PSG has a new star and it is called Warren Zaire-Emery.
By entering the game in the 81st minute in place of Marco Verratti, this Saturday evening, the great hope of the Parisian formation became the youngest player in the history of PSG to start in Ligue 1 at 16 years, 4 months and 29 days.
A necessarily special moment for this child of the club, who arrived in U 8, and who does better than El Chadaille Bitshiabu (16 years, 7 months, 3 days) and Kingsley Coman (16 years, 8 months and 4 days).
In the passageways of the Gabriel-Montpied stadium, Luis Campos, the sports director, made no mistake about it and caught him before he went to change.
"Bravo, we must continue to work," he slips in substance.
For his few minutes on the meadow, Zaire-Emery did not have cold feet.
He has even shown some response in duels, confirming that he is capable of raising his level depending on the challenges that come his way.
"A strong signal sent to all our training"
“He is a young man who seems to have a lot of maturity, who loves football, his job, explains Christophe Galtier.
It is in relation to what I saw during the preparation in Japan, and for a while, that I wanted to give it its first minutes.
The game was practically over, I'm very happy for him and I know he's very happy.
He will remember it all his life.
It's a strong signal sent to our entire team.
“The symbolism is great, indeed, while it is difficult for the Titis to carve out a place in the first team.
Having turned professional on July 15, Warren Zaire-Emery wants to be the exception.
🙏❤️💙

In Clermont, Zaire-Emery had the banana by presenting himself to the media after the match, for what will remain as the first mixed zone of his career.
"I can only be happy, we will continue to work to have new chances," he warned.
And to add that “when you train with stars like that, you can only progress.

Since the resumption, on July 4, the native of Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), of a rather discreet nature, would show a lot of listening and seriousness during the sessions.
“It's a small, early phenomenon.
He's not very expansive, but he works hard,” say his teammates.
While Paris is still waiting for reinforcements in the midfield, the European U 17 champion takes what they give him.
Always with this same desire to mark the spirits.
Without wasting time.
