This summer, Paris Saint-Germain took on real work at the goalkeeper position. After registering the arrival of Lucas Chevalier from LOSC against a check for 55 million euros, the capital club let slip Gianluigi Donnarumma, who left for Manchester City for 35 million euros, bonus included.
This major change in the Parisian goal was directly influenced by coach Luis Enrique, wanting to have a goalkeeper comfortable with the ball. A bet which, for the moment, is not yet unanimous.
“At the best moment of his career, you let him go”
The former Mastiff has recently come under criticism for his latest performances in the red and blue tunic. However, he can count on the Spanish coach, who reaffirmed his confidence in him at a press conference: “I am very happy with Lucas Chevalier. For me, this is one, if not the best option. I am happy with his performance. When we recruit a player, we think about a long adaptation period. He has personality, he showed it. »
Luis Enrique's statements do not prevent observers from questioning this change of goalkeeper. Even more so after Donnarumma's great performances in the Champions League final phase. “We were patient with Donnarumma, but at the best moment of his career, you let him go. And you find yourself being patient with his successor again… there is something ridiculous”commented the sports journalist and radio host of RMCPierre Dorian, in the Great Moscato Show.
