Lucas Chevalier's debut at PSG is very complicated. The draw conceded against Strasbourg (3-3), Friday evening at the Parc des Princes, further confirmed this. With three new goals conceded, Gianluigi Donnarumma's successor in the Paris cage is currently suffering from the comparison with the Italian, who left this summer for Manchester City.
If he had been rather spared from criticism until then, the pressure is now intensifying on the former Lille player. “He’s not doing enough, he hasn’t done the jobslice Lionel Charbonnier in After Football on RMC. On the first (from Joaquin Panichelli in the 26th minute of play, editor's note), at first I told myself that it was a complicated header, but afterwards I analyzed it carefully. »
“He is going backwards, he must not go backwards on his head, he must move forwardcontinues the former French international goalkeeper. He is on a back support and therefore he dives backwards. And that is unacceptable. But hey, come on, this one is at the limit… But on the second one, he tries to straighten his leg, his crampons get caught in the carpet. It's an error, it's a support problem. »
“The outfit is too big” for Lucas Chevalier
The image actually surprised observers. After a splendid ladle from Valentin Barco over the defense, Diego Moreira came to double the lead with a well-placed but crushed recovery (41st), on which Lucas Chevalier remained planted.
“For me, for the moment, the outfit is too big”supports the 1998 world champion, who wants to give him more time.
“It was the same for Donnarumma. When he arrived it was the samehe recalls. Chevalier, if you put him today with the performances he gave in Lille, with the confidence he had until now, he does not concede two goals. There, he is very small. When you look at him, you feel like his goal is immense. He doesn't take it, he doesn't have the charisma at the moment. »
“It will grow in stature, we must give it timeadds Lionel Charbonnier. I remember that not so long ago, Luis Enrique took out Donnarumma to put in Safonov, who didn't perform better, so he put Donnarumma back in. And this is where Donnarumma had reached a milestone. » A passage on the bench perhaps already hangs in the nose of the former Mastiff.
