Expectations that live up to his transfer. Lucas Chevalier knew the challenge that awaited him when he arrived in Paris to succeed Gianluigi Donnarumma. More than two months after his arrival in the French capital, we cannot really say that the ex-Lille player has made his predecessor forget. Some missed meetings, like the one against Strasbourg at the weekend (3-3), gave rise to new doubts.

Will he have the personality, but also the back and shoulders broad enough to take on these responsibilities? It may still be early to give a definitive answer, but he has no intention of giving up, that's not the guy's style at all. After his team's victory against Brest this Saturday evening (0-3), Chevalier expressed his optimism for the rest of the season.

It’s a new job, a new life, new instructions and a global adaptation on and off the field”he confided, after a successful and scoreless performance, which he had no longer been. able to achieve for five matches.

“I try to focus on myself, talk to the coaches to improve what I need. I am sure that good times are coming. I feel myself growing in power, in confidence. I will help the team a lot in the future”he concluded in the mixed zone. He will be judged on paper in ten days against Bayern Munich, probably the best European team at the start of the season. The kind of match that can reorient the fans' reasoning and outlook on the subject.
