Enrique reacted to the criticism of Chevalier: “You slaughtered Donnarumma for four years, the same is happening now”

He broke out for the criticism leveled at Lucas Chevalier o Luis Enrique! The Spanish coach was asked by reporters at the press conference ahead of the match against Bayer Leverkusen (21/10, 22:00) about the performance of Lucas Chevalier in these first months at the French club, with him stressing that the same was done in a cruel and unfair way in Gianluigi Donnarumma.

“The same thing happens every year. Personally I am satisfied with Chevalier, for me he is a good choice for the goalkeeper position if not the best.

I am very satisfied with his performances. When we sign a player, we always think long term“, he initially said and continued:

“He has personality, he has proven it and continues to show it in training and in matches. I believe you don’t remember how many years you criticized Gizo Donnarumma, I remember it very well.

You have been sportingly slaughtering him with your criticism for the past four years. Even when I wasn’t a coach at Paris Saint-Germain I kept hearing you criticize him. When you’re a goalkeeper at a club like Paris Saint-Germain, you have to learn to live with it“, concluding his statements about the 23-year-old:

“What I can say about him is that I like his personality, his level as a footballer. We are very optimistic that he will be very important to our team for many years to come.

This is the trust we have in our player, and especially me, when I see the performances of Luca Chevalier in these matches, I see what I want to see. And for me, that’s satisfying».
