As the last list of the calendar year looms, Thursday, Lucas Chevalier claims more than ever for the French team. The main person concerned gave his opinion on the question after another high-flying performance against Juventus, while Emmanuel Petit would not understand a new non-selection.
Lucas Chevalier with the Blues, a matter of hours?
The more the months pass, the more the evidence, and the less Didier Deschamps will find it easier to postpone the inevitable. This Tuesday evening again, against Juventus, Lucas Chevalier delivered a performance of international stature, including a world-class save in front of Dusan Vlahovic (34′). “ Me, I do my performancesasked the Lille goalkeeper to our microphone in the mixed zone. If we want to reach the French team, perhaps the best nation in the world, we have to play and perform in this type of competition. I'm not interested in playing if it's to score goals and go home. It puts a spotlight on me and the fact of going on, this will potentially satisfy the coach. »
It remains to be seen whether Didier Deschamps will put his name on the list this time, he who is attached to the balance of his goalkeeper pole with Mike Maignan, Brice Samba and Alphonse Areola. “ The selection must reward you based on your performance. We are not in a closed club, in a private spaceEmmanuel Petit lost his temper after the match in “After Foot”. I was always told that the French team didn't belong to anyone because you are in perpetual competition. DD, open your eyes, Chevalier is exceptional! They're going to be really pissed off when they make the list. Areola is in trouble with West Ham. »
While Knight “ must ask himself what he must do to go to the selection », Daniel Riolo with the LOSC goalkeeper “ in front of Samba. And it's not knocking Samba to say that “. The main person concerned does not make this November gathering an end in itself. “ I'm ready, I'm not worriedhe assures. I'm 23 tomorrow (today). I'm young, I have time. Whether it's Thursday or in six months, it will be a source of pride. » A mark of maturity, also off the field.
