Despite featuring in 54 matches for Paris Saint-Germain this season, he is not expected to be a starter for "Les Bleus" at the World Cup. PSG coach Luis Enrique frequently deployed the midfielder as a right-back, and Didier Deschamps is also reportedly considering using him in various roles.

“I am a humble person; I always give my best and try to help my teammates improve,” said the 20-year-old Zaïre-Emery, who is the youngest player in the French squad.

When asked if his versatility posed a problem, he responded: “Being able to play in different positions is always beneficial for the coach and the team. Whatever position I play, I’m happy and I enjoy it. During one training session, the coach approached me and asked if I would mind playing as a left-back for the practice match. I told him: ‘With pleasure.’ He could even put me in goal if he wanted.”
