A delicate acclimatization to Paris Saint-Germain and an avoidable controversy off the field for a “like” on Instagram: Lucas Chevalier is certainly going through the most difficult period of his young career.
And to make matters worse, his first selection will not allow him to reassure himself. While the French team had punched its ticket for the World Cup on Thursday with its success against Ukraine (4-0), Didier Deschamps took advantage of a match without stakes to offer a first cap to the former Lille player.
Difficult start for Chevalier
Lucas Chevalier will remember it, since he conceded a goal in the 3rd minute. A small event for Azerbaijan, who had never found the net against France, but also for the Blues, since the PSG goalkeeper became the fastest goalkeeper to have conceded his first goal for the French team since 1935. This does not bode well for the future. Mike Maignan, current holder of the position, conceded a first goal after 8 minutes, before displaying a sparkling level in the selections which followed. As a reminder, France won without shining in this last match of the year (3-1).
