At the end of Paris Saint-Germain’s matches during February, as we now always do (based on the Player of the Month awards for each match), we asked fans to vote for the “Player of the Month.” Warren Zaïre-Emery (19-year-old midfielder) won.
As a reminder, the matches in February were:
Dunkerque/PSG (2-4), PSG/Angers (1-0), PSG/Aston Villa (3-1), Aston Villa/PSG (3-2), PSG/Le Havre (2-1), Nantes/PSG (1-1), PSG/Nice (1-3), Arsenal/PSG (0-1).
A great victory for Zaïre-Emery, a player who has been remarkably consistent (and positive) in recent weeks. This comes as he continues to start matches at an impressive rate. The young Parisian has put the criticisms of last season behind him and is establishing himself as a key player for PSG.
“Behind” him, we see that he sometimes lacked a bit of attacking flair, while the forwards tended to be at the bottom of the voting. However, Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) also needs to prove himself and be decisive. He still has the pace to create danger, but unfortunately, he’s also been a bit wasteful. We should note the impressive performance of Matvey Safonov, the 27-year-old goalkeeper who has had a major breakthrough this season by taking the number one spot. Although we wish he were less in the spotlight.
Thank you for your votes, and we would like to point out that the podium finishes for these “Player of the Month” will count towards the Player of the Season award, as a player must have been on the podium at least once to be among the nominees.
