Regularly singled out when things do not go well at Olympique Lyonnais, Rayan Cherki also has support.
It’s a well-known refrain on the Olympique Lyonnais side: when the team does not play well, it is often Rayan Cherki who is accused of not bringing what is needed to Les Gones’ game. And since this start to the season has been catastrophic for the Rhone residents, the French Espoirs international has once again not escaped criticism. Founded or not, these had the ability to explode Bertrand Latour.
The channel journalist The Team made a big rant on Monday, when discussing the OL situation. For him, the criticisms leveled against Rayan Cherki are far too easy. “ It’s starting to bore me. Whenever there’s a problem, it’s Cherki’s fault. If you’re not able to recognize that this guy has talent, that’s a problem for me. In fact, Cherki, as soon as he is good it’s normal and as soon as Lyon is not doing well, it’s his fault because ‘he’s a wanker, he doesn’t run, he doesn’t let go of the ball ‘.“
“ It annoys me that people keep hitting him“
According to Bertrand Latour, we must place things in their context. “ He makes mistakes, he’s only twenty years old. I pay for my ticket to go see him at the stadium. He’s going to miss matches, we agree, but it annoys me that people constantly hit him. » The anger has passed and things are now said but not sure that Rayan Cherki will be so spared afterwards. In seven Ligue 1 matches this season (including six as a starter), the Lyonnais has neither scored nor offered an assist.
