Zaire Emery: Participating in the World Cup is a clear goal and Enrique works hard to help me regain my confidence

October 8th: Paris Saint-Germain’s 19-year-old Zaire Emery was selected for the new French national team roster. At the press conference, he talked about his current situation, goals and other topics.

About returning to the French national team

I feel very calm about this return. My goal is not to stay in the youth team for a long time. There will be a World Cup next summer. The World Cup is the biggest football tournament in the world, so of course it's a definite goal of mine.

About my performance at the beginning of this season

I performed well in some games, but there were also two or three games where I performed poorly. I need to keep working hard, stay positive, forget about the bad games and learn from them. My goal is to improve myself across the board, both technically and tactically. I talk to the coach (Enrique) regularly and he tries to help me regain my confidence and get back to where I was last season.

About self-confidence

I feel a little constrained. I know I have the ability to play, but confidence does take a toll. I need to free myself mentally and play without any worries like before.

Regarding when the self-confidence dropped

It may have been the rotation of the head coach after the injury (early 2025). I can't say that I was greatly affected, but suddenly my playing time was reduced.
