While he fails to win at OL, Rayan Cherki is phenomenal with the France Espoirs team. He has scored in his last six matches with the Bleuets.
Rayan Cherki is a terrible unknown. A prodigy from the OL training center, launched among the pros in 2019, at the age of 16, the attacking midfielder, now aged 20, has not yet established himself with Les Gones. The genius dribbler does not convince throughout the matches and Fabio Grosso has not been won over since his arrival a month ago on the Lyon bench. He took him out of the starting lineup twice.
However, in the France Espoirs team, Cherki is simply stratospheric! Thierry Henry gave the keys to the game to the native of Lyon, positioned in number 10, and he gives him back. Cherki scores in all matches under the tricolor tunic, he is on a series of six matches with a goal since the victory against Cyprus, Tuesday in Grenoble, with the historic score of 9 to 0, in the Euro Espoirs qualifiers.
During this biggest victory in the history of the France Espoirs team, Cherki flew over the proceedings with the ball at his feet, causing the CSC to open the score, before giving two assists and scoring a double . The ambidextrous humiliated three defenders and the opposing goalkeeper with a hook on the 6th goal of Titi Henry’s players (65th).
CHERKI’S DRIBBLE!!!
