The new masterful performance of Rayan Cherki, scorer and double decisive passer during Lyon's victory against Frankfurt (3-2) on Thursday, delights Daniel Riolo who feels the Lyon leader is asserting himself over time.
Rayan Cherki's new XXL performance reinforces Daniel Riolo's admiration for him. At the end of November, the editorialist for After Foot on RMC was already excited about the Lyon playmaker: “When I see OL, I see Cherki and I enjoy it. I want to love this player “, he said. Thursday, he was delighted by the play of the French Espoirs international, author of a goal and two assists during Lyon's victory against Frankfurt (3-2) in the Europa League. Even if he always expects more.
“Even at 90%, I want more”
“Let Cherki get used to it because the requirement only falls on the heads of the top players,” said the journalist in After Foot. “So, we will always be more, as we have always been. But there is a huge difference because we were at times when we no longer necessarily believed in him. It has been several weeks now since I had this sentence: 'we want to love you so make sure we love you' Obviously we continue.”
“We like it so much that even at 90%, I want more,” continues Daniel Riolo. “His stopped dribbling tires me, I don't want to see him anymore because I feel like he can do everything well. He hasn't played in the Champions League yet, we're still far from the European crack. But I think that's it. is possible. I have the impression that he understood what had to be done Before, it seemed that he only understood what had to be done and what he was doing was enough. he works and thinks when he plays, we have the famous passes which highlight the people around him and highlight him himself. We are not far from the 8/10 or 9/10 in each match, from the great performance. It continues.”
The explosion in playing time of the Olympic vice-champion worries Daniel Riolo a little. “He is in the process of taking up tenure as he has never done before,” he emphasizes. “You just need Pierre Sage and his staff to manage this thing. You can, when you're not used to it, lose explosiveness by doing too much every three days. That shouldn't make him lose momentum. confidence the day he will be a little less good because he will have dips in form. He played like that last weekend, Thursday then Sunday with a match at the Parc des Princes where obviously he will want to show off. Its progress will not be able to break out any further than a prime time match on a Sunday evening, against Paris at the Parc des Princes. He will also have to manage this expectation which can sometimes push him to overplay. It won't be far from the goal.”
