PSG manager Luis Enrique has come out to defend his goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, despite the much scrutiny on Lucas’ performances this season, he is more than satisfied with his new recruit and retains full confidence in his ability.
Enrique concluded by criticizing the media for their treatment of Chevalier and Donnarumma, stressing that the Italian goalkeeper faced the same level of harsh criticism before he joined Man City.
His words, “It’s the same every year, I’m very happy with your feelings. I’m very happy with Lucas Chevalier!
For me he’s one of the best options or THE best option. I’m very happy with his performances.
And when we recruit a player, we think over a long period of time.
And what I can say about Lucas Chevalier is that I like his personality, his level as player. We are very confident that he will be very important to the team for many years to come.
That is the confidence we have in our player, and especially for me, when I see Lucas Chevalier’s performance during these matches, I see what I want to see. And for me, that is enough.
He has personality, he showed it and he still shows it in training and in matches. What I like… I think you don’t remember for how many years you criticized Gigio Donnarumma. I remember perfectly!
The last four years, you killed him. You killed Gigio Donnarumma sportingly. So please… even when I wasn’t the coach of Paris Saint-Germain.
I felt all the time that you criticised Gigio Donnarumma. When you are a goalkeeper of a club like Paris Saint-Germain, you have to learn to live with that.”
WOW.
