Recruited by PSG from LOSC for €40M this summer, Lucas Chevalier is still struggling to convince observers since the start of the season. But Lionel Charbonnier, former goalkeeper of the France team, seems convinced that the new PSG goalkeeper will eventually find his feet and gain strength in the months to come.
Very lucid about the current performance of Lucas Chevalier au PSG and his new lackluster performance Friday evening against Strasbourg (3-3) while he was recruited for €40M during the last market, Lionel Coal spoke about the weaknesses of the former goalkeeper LOSC at the microphone of theAfter Footon RMC Sport. But he also announces reassuring news to PSG on the case Chevalier.
“He’s not doing enough”
« A Knight fixation? No, we have to admit it. He’s not doing enough, he hasn’t done the job. On the first, I analyzed well, he is going backwards and he must not do so, he must move forward. (…) He dives backwards, and it’s crippling. At the limit, that’s it. But the second one, he tries to straighten his leg, his crampons get caught in the carpet », initially admits Coal on the new goalkeeper PSG.
“It will grow in stature”
« For me, the outfit is too big for Chevalier at the moment. You put it with his performances that he did in Lille, today he does not concede two goals. That is to say the confidence he had until now. There he is very small, you have the impression when you look at him that his goal is immense. (…) Knight, he doesn’t take it, he doesn’t have the charisma for the moment. It will grow in stature, we have to give it time », insists the 98 World champion, who therefore remains reassuring about the continuation of the adventure of Lucas Chevalier au PSG.
