In the storm, Lucas Chevalier addresses an awkward controversy | OneFootball

Lucas Chevalier, the 24-year-old goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, who has already been regularly criticized since his arrival this summer due to performances that have not met expectations, found himself at the center of a controversy yesterday. The reason: a “like” on an Instagram post in which the vice-president of Les Républicains, Julien Aubert, stated that he would support the Rassemblement National in the event of a runoff against the Nouveau Front Populaire. During the night, the goalkeeper responded on social media with a long message.

We are not here to talk about politics, so we won’t give an opinion on that aspect. But the fact is that some supporters were very affected by this “like,” which displayed a strong stance. Ideally, everyone has the right to express themselves. But there are some positions that can be uncomfortable or shocking, and that’s understandable too. So a response from Chevalier was needed.

His explanation of an unintentional “like” may or may not convince people, but at least the goalkeeper tried to put out the controversy and bring some calm. It’s also possible that this situation was unsettling for him during the match, since he became aware of it beforehand. That doesn’t explain or excuse everything, but it’s something to take into account. Players are human beings. At the very least, Chevalier took the time to write a long message, and everyone can form their own opinion afterwards.
