PSG: Chevalier fires shots at Donnarumma, Luis Enrique, pressure

Lucas Chevalier, 24 years old, goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke to Téléfoot about how his status has changed since arriving in the capital. The keeper describes constant pressure, discusses comparisons with Gianluigi Donnarumma (25 years old), and details the specific work being done with Luis Enrique to take his position to a higher level.

Chevalier: “My life has changed”

“You expect a change in dimension because you want it. My life has changed, I’m scrutinized from A to Z and you also realize that it’s ruthless. I’m happy to go through this because it’s the highest level. I want to keep progressing and show that I am a great goalkeeper. The comparisons with Donnarumma? It’s not a burden at all, but you just have to shield yourself from everything around you. Because if you read what people say or try to analyze, you can’t move forward. You have to have confidence in yourself, I know what I’m capable of and what I can give to PSG.

Chevalier: “I now have a new vision of my position”

Luis Enrique? Luis Enrique is very happy with me. We work a lot on the small details because when you’re a goalkeeper here, you don’t just make saves. That’s actually what you do the least. I now have a new vision of my position. We work on small details of positioning or playing with my feet to reach perfection.”

People often underestimate how long it takes to settle in at PSG. Becoming a leader, especially between the posts, is never instantaneous. Criticism comes quickly, comparisons even faster, but they help no one. Gianluigi Donnarumma has left, Luis Enrique has made his decision and fully stands by his choice: Lucas Chevalier.

From that point on, the debate is closed. A goalkeeper doesn’t establish himself in two months at a club where every pass becomes a public dissection. He has to get used to the pressure, understand the routines, digest tough matches, and learn to communicate with an entirely reshaped defense.

This kind of role is built through experience, tough nights, and moments of truth. PSG wanted to bet on a young profile with character; you have to accept the journey that comes with it. Leaders aren’t born under the spotlight, they are forged there.
