Cherki with Algeria? Gouiri gives clues

Before the resumption of Ligue 1, the coach of Olympique Lyonnais, Fabio Grosso, bluntly relaunches Rayan Cherki.

Relations between Rayan Cherki and his trainer Fabio Grosso do not seem to be on the verge of improving. The former Frosinone coach once again warned the young OL star about his abilities.

Very often used by Laurent Blanc, Rayan Cherki has lost his place in the starting lineup of Olympique Lyonnais since the French technician was dismissed.

For his first match on the bench of the Rhone club, Fabio Grosso thus saw fit to put Rayan Cherki on the bench against Stade Brestois (1-0 defeat of Lyon). The Frenchman then returned to the starting lineup against Reims (2-0 defeat), but hardly shone.

Grosso warns Cherki

Very good in Espoirs during the international break, Rayan Cherki is expected to resume the championship this weekend. But while the nugget shone in the selection with two goals in particular, his coach took the opportunity to give an interview to the regional daily, La Provence.

“I know the qualities of my players well. For some, it only takes 10 or 15 seconds to know. But there is the small difference between having these qualities to play ball, and having these qualities to become a top footballer. It seems a small difference, but it is big, if we talk about Rayan Cherki, who has incredible qualities. But he must use them with his teammates to be decisive with our team”he scolded before also mentioning his behavior.

“You have to be available to your teammates. I will never ask an attacker to play fullback, but I will always ask an attacker to help the midfielders, the defenders.”added Fabio Grosso.
