Rayan Cherki’s media appearance on Sunday evening following Lyon’s defeat against Marseille (2-3) did not go unnoticed.
Scorer in vain on Sunday evening during a topsy-turvy Olympico which saw OM triumph despite its numerical inferiority suffered from the 5th minutee minute of play (2-3), Rayan Cherki thus signed his return to the field in the OL jersey, following his contract extension and while he was expected to start this summer.
At the final whistle, the person concerned distinguished himself by his uncompromising remarks against his teammates. It’s a shame. We have 3,500 chances and despite that, we just keep going backwards.

But that’s exactly what he’s been criticized for since the beginning of his career! »
The former striker turned consultant on RMC drives the point home: ” Once again, Cherki is way off base. And if he comes to brag because he scored a goal…
“And to conclude: ” If he wants to bring his team to be more efficient, I hope he starts in all the other matches and finally brings his team to be more efficient. Because it’s this kind of player who should bring that. Two weeks ago, the guy had left, he had packed his bags… It’s all well and good to arrive and honk like that. But where is the future phenomenon? The nugget? »
