Author of a new XXL performance against Juventus Turin, Lucas Chevalier sent a message to Didier Deschamps after the match.
Lille definitely likes big guys. Already winners of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Losc continued with a good draw against Juventus Turin (1-1). And once again, if Jonathan David shone at the forefront, the Northerners can thank Lucas Chevalier, author of several decisive saves throughout the match.
Shortly after the half hour, the young goalkeeper even made an exceptional save on a shot into the top corner from Dusan Vlahovic receiving a cross from Locatelli. Without momentum, the Lille player managed to project himself to his left to deflect the missile from the Turin attacker who was already ready to celebrate. This save was well worth a goal and his teammates did not fail to congratulate him.
This new XXL performance obviously raises the question of his presence in the list that Didier Deschamps must announce this Thursday for the two Nations League matches against Israel and Italy. Questioned after the meeting, Lucas Chevalier took the liberty of sending a message to the French coach.
A real appeal to Didier Deschamps
“I'm ready. Everyone sees that I perform well, I know that too. I know I have things to improve. You have to try to be as regular as possible. Faced with this kind of team, we have more light, people can think that… I'm doing my job. If it comes, so much the better,”
he confided to the microphone of Canal+.
“I think that if we want to reach the French team, one of the best nations in the world, we have to play and perform in this kind of competition. I'm not interested in playing the Champions League and just being there, scoring my goals and going home.” he continued, adding: “ It puts a spotlight on it. The fact of continuing can give satisfaction to journalists and potentially to the coach. I'm ready whatever happens. I'm 23 tomorrow (Wednesday), I'm young, I have time. If it comes, it's magnificent. Whatever happens, it will be a source of pride, whether it happens tomorrow or in six months. I will continue to perform well on the pitch.»
