Times are tough for Lucas Chevalier. Transferred to Paris Saint-Germain from Lille during the previous summer transfer window, the 24-year-old goalkeeper is having a complicated start under his new colors. Guilty of several errors, the international tricolor (1 selection) struggles to convince and finds himself at the heart of criticism.
And the former Lille player has not improved his situation in recent days. Indeed, the native of Calais found himself at the heart of a controversy after having “liked” a video in which an LR deputy supports the National Rally. Which pushed him to react on his social networks, believing that his “
picture ” has been ” soiled from top to bottom for accidental action. »
In this delicate period, Lucas Chevalier received the support of Alexandre Letellier. The former PSG goalkeeper (from 2020 to 2024) defended his counterpart and gave a big rant against his detractors.
“If we jump on him all the time, he won’t be able to get out of this situation”
“ I don’t like it when people don’t leave Lucas Chevalier alone! He’s currently going through a complicated phase and it annoys me that people say it’s his fault when it’s not the case and that they blame him for all the goals conceded. He also has this little mishap on social networks, which adds another layer », declared Letellier on the airwaves of Ici Paris Île-de-France.
“ But at a given moment, you have to let go a little so that he can find serenity and calm, flourish and rediscover all the sensations he had in Lille to be decisive for the club, he continued. It’s still his first six months, it takes time, but if we jump on him all the time, he won’t be able to get out of this situation. »
And to conclude: “Ithere is a strength of character, when he expresses himself he is lucid about the situation, saying that in Paris it is another job, he knows it. And given the boy’s mentality, things will change in the right direction, but we have to give him time, even if in Paris there isn’t a lot of time. » Chevalier will appreciate it.
