Team newspaper: Paris was surprised by Emery Jr. s downturn, thinking that the training status and physical indicators are good

The "League" wrote an article about Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Emery Jr. The article believes that the players are going through difficult periods of their careers.

Because the midfield trio composed of Joao Neves, Vitinia and Fabian Ruiz firmly occupy the main force since the second half of last season, Emery Jr. has been demoted to the substitute and has been missed in the latest French national team roster.

In the away game of Marseille 0-1 loss to Marseille on Monday, Emery Jr. got a starting opportunity, but his performance was mediocre, with only 9 confrontations in 78 minutes and failed to seize the opportunity to prove himself.

club insiders revealed that the team was "surprised" at his sluggish performance because his recent training status and physical metrics were good.

The reasons for his current dilemma are many. First, from March to June, a left ankle injury kept him away from his best for a long time, during which time Fabian Ruiz performed well and locked in the main position. Secondly, he was only 19 years old and his performance fluctuations were also considered understandable by the club. National team head coach Deschamps also pointed out that Zaire Emery "reduces playing time, especially in important games, has reduced playing time", which is the reason that affects his condition and misses.

Despite the challenges, people around Emery Jr. said he is still training hard and has the trust of head coach Enrique. He and the coaching staff have clarified the direction of improvement, which is to become "more decisive" within the last 40 meters of the court.

Enrique has been supporting him privately and realizes that the club may have overused him early in his career.
