Although Kylian Mbappé was discussed in the majority of this new press conference by Didier Deschamps, other important subjects slipped into the coach’s speech. Blues. The first summons of Lucas Chevalier was one of them.

And even before being challenged a dozen times on his captain, Deschamps was visibly more inclined to talk about the new kid. As if he had prepared his move to have another topic to discuss.

“If he is there, it is to the detriment of Areola who is not there”

I’m ready“, announced Lucas Chevalier after another XXL performance against Juventus, Tuesday evening, in the Champions League (1-1). The LOSC doorman was heard. And his arrival shakes up the hierarchy of goalkeepers. Deschamps confirmed it. Alphonse Areola, although operational, is no longer number 3.

This is an important step for him. Last season, he performed well. He continues to be so with his club, both in Ligue 1 and on the European scene. If he is there, it is to the detriment of Areola who is not there. But I told the last gathering it was more than close“.
