The only PSG player not to have played a minute during this Euro 2024, Warren Zaire-Emery scored during an 8-on-8 opposition Thursday at Les Bleus training, but should be a substitute against Belgium on Monday. Author of an interesting match against Poland, Bradley Barcola is once again applying for a starting place in the round of 16.
Resting on Wednesday, the day after its disappointing draw against Poland (1-1), the French team returned to training on Thursday in Paderborn with their sights set on their round of 16 of the Euro 2024 this Monday against Belgium (6 p.m.).
According to the French media present on site, the group was divided into two: on one side the starters against Poland, with a light session for them, and on the other the substitutes (plus Mbappé and Koundé), with a more intense session and a more basic workout.
For his group of substitutes, Didier Deschamps also organized an 8 against 8 half-court opposition and the team of Marcus Thuram and Olivier Giroud, who scored a hat-trick each, won 7-2. Warren Zaïre-Emery was in the orange bib team that won and also scored, following a back pass from Jules Koundé (from 6m56s in the video below). Opposite, Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann made the net tremble.
“Barcola is probably the best in training these days”
The young 18-year-old French midfielder is currently the only PSG player not to have played a minute during Euro 2024. Even Gonçalo Ramos played with Portugal on Wednesday evening against Georgia, entering during the match. Against Belgium on Monday, Warren Zaire-Emery is not expected to start on the French side and there is little chance that he will come into play.
Interesting against Poland, for his third selection in Blue and his first start, Bradley Barcola has a real chance of starting the 8th final against the Belgians according to L’Equipe, even if a return to 4-4-2 could work against him.
“He’s probably the best in training these last few days, a source close to the France group told the newspaper. There were players who bet from the first match that he would end up starting before the end of the competition.” See you Monday around 5 p.m. to find out Deschamps’ choices.
