Lucas Chevalier had a complicated evening on Sunday. On the ground, first of all. If he is not directly responsible for the two goals conceded by PSG, the former Lille player was not decisive either and his positioning on the lob scored by Ainsley Maitland-Niles is even questionable according to many observers.
But if the Parisian goalkeeper was at the heart of a lively controversy on Sunday, it was also because of his activity on social networks. The native of Calais actually liked a publication on Instagram in which the vice-president of the Republicans Julien Aubert affirms that he will support the National Rally in the event of a duel against the New Popular Front.
This “like” provoked numerous reactions, forcing him to clarify. “I was able to see what he could have said about me the previous evening, concerning the fact that I liked a post on Instagram with a political orientation, which I obviously do not share. I’m not trying to convince you but it’s distressing to know that by scrolling and leaving a like without realizing it on a post, and that when you wake up from your nap to prepare for the match, you are informed that your image is soiled from top to bottom for an accidental action, that annoys me.” he wrote in a story on Instagram.
“The world we live in has a tendency to go into a tailspin”
“I am not here to show you my education and my political demands because I am above all a footballer,
he continued. But it is certain that anyone who knows me knows very well to what extent I am a person whose values ​​and respect my parents and my family instilled in me, and that under no circumstances would I allow myself to think these things. »
And the Parisian doorman continued by explaining that his image had been “dirty”. “The damage is done and the things have been pronounced against me. You tried to make me look like a fascist, and it’s not me who you’re targeting, but my entire family. I would never put myself as a victim but the limits have been exceeded, and by a long way, he said, adding:
“the world we live in has a tendency to go into a tailspin. »
Lucas Chevalier also spoke about the criticism he received for his performances in the Paris goal. “Some people use this to promote my poor sporting performance when they have no consequences from being a goalkeeper”he wrote on this subject.
