The improvement was short-lived for Lucas Chevalier. Saturday, the reception of Le Havre at the Parc des Princes had indeed given rise to a solid performance from the Parisian goalkeeper, culminating in an exceptional save shortly before the half-hour mark. But on Wednesday, the former Lille player was left without another difficult evening against Tottenham.
If, unlike his previous match against Spurs this summer during the European Super Cup, the native of Calais did not make a mistake, he was never decisive and was clearly not very inspired on London’s second goal. Enough to earn him a new round of criticism.
“It’s one strike, one goal. He lost everything he had in Lille. He is still saved by the result this evening…,
he thus released for Winamax. Knight, the more it advances, the more it stinks of flop. He inspires no fear in the opponent but fear in all his supporters and teammates. »
“He’s still a young goalkeeper”
However, Lucas Chevalier can always count on the support of his partners. “It’s very difficult to arrive in a team that was European champion, after a goalkeeper who was very important in the season and who made very important saves,” thus confided his captain Marquinhos to the microphone of RMC, adding: “It’s not that easy to arrive and immediately play high-level matches. He is still a young goalkeeper with a lot of room for improvement. »
“He is already showing his abilities, he showed it in Lille, in the French team, he always tries to show it at PSG. We tell him that he must not doubt his abilities.”
he insisted. And this support from the Brazilian came after that of Luis Enrique at the end of the match against Spurs. “ On the first, we defended poorly, Spence was alone, they did a great job. The second is a set piece. The third is Vitinha’s assist, right? “,
he had said about her.
