With his baccalaureate in hand, Warren Zaire-Emery will now be able to concentrate exclusively on his job as a professional footballer. Enough to allow him to let loose a little more, especially offensively?
Warren Zaire-Emery’s schedule will be much lighter from now on, despite his status as a French international. The young PSG midfielder has just officially obtained his baccalaureate this Monday and will no longer have to juggle training, matches, school and school exams.
As reported by Le Parisien this Tuesday, Zaire-Emery was in great demand off the field in September, after having obtained authorization to take his baccalaureate later than other adolescents of his age due to his summons to the ‘Euro last summer.
Zaire-Emery was in high demand in September
From September 10 to 24, the 18-year-old French international took eleven exams in total. A period during which he also played two of PSG’s three matches, simply missing the Brest reception (September 14) due to a small calf injury contracted on September 6 against Italy with the Blues.
” Admitted. All those school years are over. Now I will be able to concentrate on football and give the best of myself. I will try to continue the languages”reacted Zaire-Emery in a video broadcast by PSG, after learning that he had obtained his baccalaureate.
The second longest playing time for PSG since the start of the season
Second PSG player most used by Luis Enrique since the start of the season (689 minutes played) behind Achraf Hakimi (714 minutes), Warren Zaire-Emery has alternated in recent weeks the good, as against Montpellier, with the less good, like against Nice last Sunday, a few days after being one of the few to hold up the shock athletically against Arsenal.
Now freed from his classes and baccalaureate exams, Zaire-Emery hopes to take advantage of his new schedule to also free himself on the field, particularly offensively. According to Le Parisien, the native of Montreuil also increased his risk-taking in training last week at the PSG Campus and was privately delighted to have regained his efficiency in front of goal.
Zaire-Emery more aggressive offensively in the future?
An efficiency that he will now have to reproduce in a match, his goal counter remaining stuck at one unit since his nice achievement against Montpellier during the 2 day of Ligue 1 (he scored three last season). Called up by Didier Deschamps for the two October matches against Israel and Belgium, Zaire-Emery also hopes to have more playing time in the France team.
He had a hard time not having played a minute during the Euro and only played 13 minutes during the last rally after being injured when he came on against Italy. The international retirement of Antoine Griezmann, who often played as a relay player for the selection in recent years, and the injury of N’Golo Kanté, absent during this October gathering, could allow him to have his chance this Thursday facing Israel.
