A journalist has insisted that Zinedine Zidane needs to see the clear best option he has at right back at the moment.

France’s upcoming games in the international break will see an interesting dilemma tested: who will Zinedine Zidane pick as his favoured right back?
Malo Gusto is in the squad, Jules Kounde is injured. It’s one position where the French don’t have a clear first choice. For for one journalist, the solution: PSG’s Warren Zaire-Emery is theoretically a central midfielder, but for his club has played as much as right back as his favoured position in the last 18 months.
“We have a huge problem at that position,” Daniel Riolo pointed out when discussing France’s strongest XI on RMC Sport.
“Kalulu, OK, but he’s not a star. Zaïre-Emery, I think that’s a real issue. I just can’t understand Zaïre-Emery. It seems like a kind of stubbornness that I don’t get. There are good examples of players who have had careers playing in different positions at club and international level. Let him tell me tomorrow: ‘We don’t have a right-back, I’ll put Zaïre-Emery at right-back.’ Give me a pen, I’ll sign it right away.”
“At right-back, I’d put him ahead of Malo Gusto, Koundé, and everyone else. I would have even played him at the World Cup; I play him every day… For me, he’s the starting right-back, there’s no one better.”
There is some debate about whether the problem is with Warren not wanting to play there or with Zidane not thinking he’s the right option. Either way, we’re with Riolo – WZE is far above the other options, even if it’s not his favourite spot.
PSG attacker Mika Godts has been compared to Lionel Messi, but pundits agree he’s got a lot of work to do.
Zinedine Zidane has compared rising star Desire Doue to himself – that’s some praise from a France legend.
