The man of the evening. Decisive passer for the first Parisian goal, during the draw snatched at the very end of the game against Le Havre (3-3), Warren Zaire-Emery extended his contract with PSG until 2029. The news was announced before the kick-off, on the field, in the presence of President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
How do you feel after extending your contract until 2029?
WARREN ZAIRE-EMERY. It is an immense pride to continue the adventure at PSG. I have been here since 2014, I have gone through all the stages and I wanted to thank the president, the coach and all the people who work in the shadows, who we cannot see, but who contribute to the success of each player . And the supporters who are still there, of course. I hope to make them proud as I have done since the start of the season.
Is there going to be a little party?
(He smiles) I think you all know me. I’m going to stay quiet and rest at home.
Can this state of mind which allows you to hold on to the draw against Le Havre be used to go all the way in the Champions League?
Being down 3-1 with a quarter of an hour to go is not easy. We were able to get back into rhythm, show our strength of character and give everything in the last minutes to succeed in turning the match around.
Should we be worried about the three goals conceded despite everything?
These are things that happen. Sometimes you can’t stop everything. We will look at what we did well and what we did not do well to be as good as possible in Dortmund. We will prepare the week correctly in order to win this match.
Was the match against Dortmund already in your mind, which would explain these three goals conceded?
We do everything not to concede goals. It’s true, we took three this (Saturday) evening. That wasn’t the objective… We come to win every match. Now that this match against Le Havre is over, we will focus on the Dortmund match. We will prepare it well to take it away.
Is PSG champion?
We will wait quietly for the Monaco match to find out. But yes, I think we are champions. We are very happy with this, because it also shows our consistency throughout the season. It’s never easy.
