Teammate of Rayan Cherki between 2022 and 2025 at OL, Nicolas Tagliafico has excellent memories of the French international. In an interview with the Argentinian streamer Sashajrrthe 2022 world champion told how he was marked by the quality of the ex-Lyonnais.
“He has a hell of a b.rdel quality. I don’t know if there are still players like him these days. Today, the wingers are more incisive in one-on-one situations, faster, but he is very skilled with both feet, he likes to feint in all directions, he creates chaos on the pitch. I don’t know how Guardiola handles it because it is much more “structured”. But Cherki is super good, he’s strong, has a lot of talent, and he’s still just a kid. He is only 22 years old. Tell yourself that he is a substitute in the France team, it is to tell you the players they have.
