However, despite some criticism, the former Lille OSC can count on strong support: his coach Luis Enrique has confidence in him and is satisfied with his debut in the Parisian jersey. The 23-year-old goalkeeper can also count on former members of the club like Jérôme Alonso.
In an interview with the newspaper The Parisianthe former red and blue goalkeeper spoke about the beginnings of Lucas Chevalier. For him, the Frenchman will end up getting everyone to agree. “Lucas (Chevalier) takes over from the current best goalkeeper in the world, who is also the one who brought his first C1 to Paris. So if we want to be fair in the way we draw up an initial assessment, we cannot uncorrelate Lucas' performances from the context. His double save against Strasbourg last weekend proves that he is still as strong as ever,” he said at first.
Before continuing: “The way he recovered from his mistake against Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup to save the team on penalties also confirms that he is mentally equipped. For the moment, the error-exploit balance is negative for me. By that I mean it didn't bring in more points than it cost. For the moment, the account is not there. But we've given so much time to absolute truffles that we can't act differently with someone of Lucas Chevalier's talent. He is the future great French goalkeeper. But for the moment, he is not yet as strong as Gigio (Donnarumma) and Maignan. »
Rebound expected against Brest
Unconvincing during the previous day in Ligue 1 against Strasbourg, Lucas Chevalier has the opportunity to bounce back this Saturday on the pitch at Stade Brestois as part of the 9th day of the French championship.
Barring any surprises and turnovers, he will be lined up in the Paris cage against the team led by Éric Roy. An important match for the Rouge et Bleu who will have the opportunity to temporarily take the lead in the standings while waiting for Olympique de Marseille to face RC Lens.
