Trapp backs Chevalier under Paris pressure | OneFootball

On the microphone of Téléfoot, Kevin Trapp spoke about the contrasting beginnings of Lucas Chevalier (24 years old) at Paris Saint-Germain. Arriving in a heavy context, marked by the legacy of Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old), Chevalier is going through an adaptation phase that Trapp knows intimately.

Trapp "He didn't give up"

When a goalkeeper talks about another goalkeeper, the discourse changes texture. There is no more posturing, only memory. Kevin Trapp does not defend Lucas Chevalier out of a corporate reflex, but from experience. In Paris, he has known doubts, the silences of the Parc, that feeling that every mistake weighs double when you're in goal. The position creates a form of invisible solidarity: goalkeepers know what it means to "hold on" when everything is wavering around.

Chevalier arrives after a Champions League win, behind an established starter, in a club where time is never an ally. Trapp highlights this without making excuses: work, don't give up, accept the waiting. His match against Marseille acts more as an internal signal than a media one. The goalkeeper doesn't need constant praise, but landmarks. Trapp knows: in Paris, confidence is rebuilt first in the solitude of the position, not in the external noise.
