Lille's local hero is an impressive performer at shot-stopping and with the ball at his feet
as a stylistic upgrade on David de Gea. In possession, Chevalier is less accomplished but similarly brave to the Cameroon international, often stepping outside his penalty area to become an additional centre-back in the build-up.
Fonseca replaced Jocelyn Gourvennec before the 2022-23 season, with only Benjamin Andre and Jonathan David appearing more times under the Portuguese than Chevalier . “Playing the ball out from the back is risky, but it’s also intelligent when you’re young and starting out,” said Chevalier last season.Advertisement
“A hand on the post means you then only have one hand to extend to the ball and take the cutback. They also now have a longer distance to get their hand to the ball, which takes more time and reduces their chances of getting there.” That same month, he conceded against Monaco in a similar fashion — this time after a corner — as he was unable to dive or affect the cutback or the shot.
Chevalier’s shot-stopping has shown promise — particularly with reactive snapshots seen above — though he is better at diving to his right than left. Last season, based on post-shot expected goals he was marginally above average, which considering his age, is a significant box tick.
