“Put six feet under” after certain guilty errors, Lucas Chevalier recognized that the situation was not easy to live with.
Lucas Chevalier changed world this summer by leaving Lille to join PSG. And the discovery of this new universe is not easy for the young doorman. If the adventure had started well in the European Super Cup, his saves during the penalty shootout making us forget his handball error on Spurs’ second goal, the rest was more complicated.
Beyond a few hesitations, the native of Calais made certain guilty errors, first and foremost his failed exit during the clash against OM or his mistake against Strasbourg. Errors which cost the capital club dearly and which earned them severe criticism.
As PSG prepares to face Bayern Munich on Tuesday in the Champions League, the young Parisian goalkeeper looked back on these difficult first months. “It’s not the same job as in Lille as a goalkeeper,” he emphasized in an interview with Figaro.
Lucas Chevalier confident for the future
“Everything is scrutinized, you have no room for error, you have to be good straight away. Honestly, we’re going to look for little things…, he explained. Good is normal. The worst part is not normal. But ultimately, it’s good to have that from the start. I think that when you are very good here, you are really put on a pedestal, more than in Lille. But, if we are less good, we are put six feet underground. »
But according to him, this first phase is now digested and the best is to come. “I feel better and better, he declared. My arrival really accelerated in the last few days, and we immediately prepared for the European Super Cup against Tottenham. So the first few months, at least the first month and a half, there was a bit of discomfort. I was still staying at the hotel. And then I’m a fairly routine person, quite square, and there, it was a bit of freestyle. »
“At the very beginning, it was not easy on a general level. But now, I’m starting to get into my habits, whether at the club, how I train or outside.” he continued, determined to meet the expectations placed on him.
