Considered the greatest hope in French football as a goalkeeper, Lucas Chevalier is certainly going through the most difficult period of his young career. Recruited by the
Paris Saint-Germain last summer to take over from Gianluigi Donnarumma, the former Lille player seemed uncomfortable in his new costume.
Sportingly, the French international’s record is very mixed, with important saves counterbalanced by more unfortunate gestures. More generally, the PSG goalkeeper suffers from comparison with his predecessor. His body language is also singled out, as is quite offensive communication for the press. Could this delicate passage have an impact on the international career of Lucas Chevalier? This is the clear opinion of Jérôme Rothen.
Knight criticized again
This week, the former French international puts himself in the place of Blues coach Didier Deschamps ahead of the World Cup organized in North America. While the event will begin in less than 6 months, Jérôme Rothen would not call Lucas Chevalier into the list… “Safonov did less stupid things in one year than Chevalier did in three months,” even thundered the former left-hander, who has become a flagship consultant for RMC. To replace Chevalier, Rothen would give his preference to Alphonse Areola, former PSG goalkeeper crowned world champion in a role of 3rd goalkeeper in 2018. Mike Maignan and Brice Samba would be the two other goalkeepers summoned by the consultant.
