Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Very solid against Real Madrid, Lucas Chevalier continues his rise in power with LOSC, to the point that his call-up to the French team seemed on track. However, Didier Deschamps decided to do without it once again, which arouses the incomprehension of Bruno Genesio, the coach of the Mastiffs.
THURSDAY, Didier Deschamps revealed its list to face Israel and Belgium. A list on which the name of Lucas Chevalier did not appear, although he was excellent against Real Madrid Wednesday evening. The doorman of LOSC is clearly gaining momentum, but the Blues coach continues to rely on Mike Maignan, Brice Samba et Alphonse Areola to compose his trio of goalkeepers. A choice that he explained.
Deschamps does without Chevalier
« He had a “correct +” match against Real Madrid. Why isn’t he summoned? He’s getting closer and closer. The three who are there are used to it and have not lowered their level. I didn’t need yesterday’s match to know that Lucas had great potential. He’s younger too, that will come at one point or another. But with the three goalkeepers I called, it requires me to perform well, and that doesn’t stop me from opening the door for Lucas later. », Confided Didier Deschamps at a press conference.
Genesio doesn’t understand
An outing which obviously did not convince Bruno Genesio. The coach of LOSCpresent before the media on Friday, gave his point of view on the non-selection of Lucas Chevalier : « I hope it’s not because he is in Lille that he is not called up. I could perhaps say that if we weren’t playing the Champions League, but that’s not the case anymore. When we see the performance he achieved in this competition, which for me is the highest level of football, we can say that he is at an international level today. Afterwards, I am not a coach. There are group concepts to take into account and players have been there for a long time. What is important for Lucas is above all to continue to work as he does, to continue to have the same serenity and to be efficient as he has been since the start of the season, but also since his return loan from Valenciennes. »
