PSG meets Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday in the third act of the C1 league phase. On the sidelines of this meeting, Luis Enrique was out in the media this Monday. The opportunity for him to speak on the Lucas Chevalier case while the Parisian goalkeeper is having a delicate start to the season.
Three days after the three goals conceded by his goalkeeper against Strasbourg, the Spanish coach had these words: “ I'm very happy with Lucas, for me he's one of the best options if not the best. I am very happy with his performance. When we recruit a player, we think long term. He showed personality. »
To continue demonstrating his satisfaction, Luis Enrique thought it appropriate to mention Gianluigi Donnarumma. “ I think you don't remember how many years you criticized Gigio Donnarumma. For four years, you killed it sportingly! » An accusation made against the press.
“I like Lucas’ personality,” says Luis Enrique
Luis Enrique, however, himself hastened the end of the Italian giant at PSG by setting his sights on Lucas Chevalier. As he had put Gianluigi Donnarumma in difficulty by imposing competition on him from Matvey Safonov in 2024 – even that of Arnau Tenas a year earlier. This was due to the boy's alleged shortcomings in the kicking game.
“ When you're a PSG goalkeeper, you have to learn to live with that (media pressure, editor’s note), concludes Luis Enrique on the subject. I like Lucas' personality, the level he displays. We are very confident that he will be very important for the team for years to come. The important thing is what I will see from his performance, and for me that is enough.
