Recruited this summer for 40 million euros to succeed Gianluigi Donnarumma, winner of the C1 with PSG, Lucas Chevalier discovered the ruthless demands of the very high level. Installed in the Parisian cages since August, the former Lille player has not yet completely convinced despite several solid performances. “For four years you killed Gigio Donnarumma. When you are a goalkeeper at PSG, you have to learn to live with that”recalled Luis Enrique, aware of the hot context in which his new goalkeeper is operating. And it is not Jérôme Alonzo, former goalkeeper of the club, who will say the opposite: “Lucas takes over from the current best goalkeeper in the world. He must do at least as well as him on his line and bring something extra to the game. Good luck! »
However, the consultant of Prime Video refuse to be alarmed too quickly. “His double save against Strasbourg proves that he is still strong”notes Alonzo, while recognizing that “the error-exploit balance is currently negative”. If he shone during the European Super Cup or even in the Champions League in Leverkusen, Chevalier also experienced some failures, such as his failed outing against OM. But the former Parisian doorman is confident according to the newspaper The Parisian : “he is the future great French goalkeeper, without a doubt. You just have to give it time. » Before concluding with a clear challenge: “I want to see him destroy everything in his area like in Lille, his chest out, his pecs forward. Here is his next challenge: becoming the boss of PSG. »
