Paris Saint-Germain lost 2-1 to Strasbourg this Saturday at the Stade de la Meinau as part of the 32nd day of Ligue 1 2024-2025. Warren Zaïre-Emery, 19-year-old Parisian midfielder and captain on Saturday, spoke to PSG TV after the match.
Zaïre-Emery “Strasbourg is a solid team, capable of coming after us.”
“All defeats are disappointments. Afterwards, I think we played a good game and gave the best versions of ourselves. We knew it was going to be complicated. Strasbourg are a solid team, capable of coming and taking us on.”
Zaire-Emery “It’s always a pleasure to have Titis with us.”
“We’re going to do everything we can to make sure it doesn’t happen again, but we mustn’t trivialize what we’ve done all season. The fans have always been there for us. Even today, they cheered us on for 90 minutes despite the defeat.
We want to give them back what they give us, and we’re going to try to do that on Wednesday in the Champions League. It’s always a pleasure to have the Titis with us. They need to keep up the good work. The coach has confidence in everyone, and well done to them, because it’s not easy playing against Strasbourg.”
Between two Champions League matches, and a semi-final to boot, Luis Enrique wasn’t going to risk starting his key players for a match that had no impact on the club’s season.
Seeing the Titis in this kind of match is as satisfying as it is important. In this way, the Parisian coach can have an initial view of which players will be able to join the professional squad next season.
We’re at a point in the season when league defeats don’t really matter. Our confidence is high and our objectives are still very clear. It’s now up to the young Titi to do the work, or at least show their rigor and motivation to give 100% for this shirt.
