Lucas Chevalier to be let go by PSG? Club legend speaks out | OneFootball

Lucas Chevalier is (once again) in the sights of critics around Paris Saint-Germain following a somewhat disappointing performance against Sporting Portugal on Tuesday in the Champions League. L’Equipe even wonders this Friday morning if the locker room might "abandon" the 24-year-old goalkeeper. Former Parisian (1992-1997 and 1998-2000) and French international (44 caps) Bernard Lama has given his verdict to the newspaper.

Lama "If they are true teammates..."

Lama "he needs to be given time."

We know the media seeks drama, but we are surprised to see such a line being crossed. Players especially have an interest in supporting their goalkeeper so he can perform well. There might be a bit less confidence, but isolating or pushing him away would bring nothing. Not to mention it wouldn't be professional. We think of the remark from coach Luis Enrique in a press conference, with journalists talking a lot without having the information.

Nothing suggests that Chevalier is in decline, even if we hope to see him take a step forward to regain his performance level at Lille. Also, even though it's easier to have a scapegoat, the goals conceded are not solely his responsibility. The whole team is involved, as we showed on the 2nd goal conceded Tuesday night against Sporting. The solution is also collective.
