Playing under Luis Enrique and his ambitions, Chevalier reveals all!

Lucas Chevalier has reached an important milestone in his career with his transfer from Lille to Paris Saint-Germain. He discussed this step in an interview with the newspaper Le Figaro. In addition to his difficult adaptation, the goalkeeper opened up about his role in coach Luis Enrique’s system and his goals in Paris. He does not hide his immense ambition.

Chevalier: “To be the initiator”

“Lucas Chevalier on Luis Enrique: He has a vision of the game, both collectively and individually. In this case, what he asks of me is quite natural for me, very simple things, like bringing continuity to the game to avoid unnecessary and very dangerous passes through the middle. He asks me to be very available and as clean as possible; he hates when I take risks. I’m not the one who will score the goal or make the decisive pass, but I can, however, be the initiator. We’re still progressing, we’re going to play against some big teams. Maybe I’ll have more opportunities to find passes that hurt at that moment, rather than against low blocks. It seems simple because it’s going well, but it requires calmness and technical mastery.”

Chevalier: “As much as possible!”

Your goals and dreams for the future? “I really feel that PSG is the kind of club where you can stay for a very long time. Everything is set up to perform. I feel everyone is confident. The staff members, the players… I think winning the Champions League has really calmed the club. You feel a sense of serenity. I wish to win many collective titles, Ligue 1, the Coupe de France… The ultimate dream would be to win a second, a third Champions League… As much as possible! Everyone is talking about winning a second consecutive Champions League. It’s definitely a goal. And to make my loved ones, my family, myself proud, to prove to myself and to my family that I could succeed here. And the supporters too. They know me a bit through Lille, but not really the man and what I can bring to a club. I want to give back to them.”

Chevalier was brought in for his shot-stopping ability, of course. But it’s clear that’s not the only reason he’s here; his footwork is extremely important. Both to set the tempo against low blocks, even if it’s less “visible” from the outside, and to break the press. Not only by avoiding mistakes, but even by being a real added value. This could be with a long or “mid-range” pass that breaks at least one line. A real weapon when possible, even if there’s an element of risk. The Parisian goalkeeper should have the opportunity to show what he can do tonight against Bayern Munich. On his line as well, probably.

This could be a beautiful step in his PSG adventure, even if it doesn’t end tonight, whether he delivers a great performance or not. Chevalier sees himself in Paris for the long term, and that’s certainly PSG’s plan as well. Of course, it’s a place to be earned. That should come with important victories, with titles. The goalkeeper and his team will especially aim for the Champions League. With a certain serenity, thanks to last season’s title. That doesn’t take away the desire to win again, but the pressure is a little less intense.
