Rayan Cherki, often criticized for his irregularity, is winning over his detractors. Among them, Daniel Riolo, RMC’s flagship columnist, expressed his growing admiration for the young OL playmaker. After a remarkable performance against Reims (1-1), where Cherki dazzled with his technique and his playing intelligence, Riolo declared: “When I see Cherki, I enjoy it. It’s the right choice, the right timing. I don’t want to miss an OL match anymore.”
The commentator also highlights the transformation of Cherki, who abandoned his superfluous gestures to put himself at the service of the team. “It is in the process of changing. We see a luminous, confident player, who does what is necessary to sublimate the collective”underlines the sports journalist.
An exemplary action that illustrates renewal
The action of the goal disallowed for offside against Reims particularly marked Riolo: “Very few Ligue 1 teams have proposed such an action this season. Cherki eliminates a player, makes the right move, and restarts the action perfectly. If OL continue on this path with a Cherki at this level, this team will become formidable.” With the support of his coach Pierre Sage and his teammates, Rayan Cherki seems to have reached a milestone and now embodies the hope of an OL in full reconstruction.
