Goalkeeper coach: Two goals conceded were due to Enrique’s tactics and Chevalier’s mood was also unstable

November 12th, the famous goalkeeper coach Thierry Barnerat talked about the performance of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Chevalier when participating in the RMC program.

The 24-year-old French national goalkeeper Chevalier joined Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but his performance did not meet people's expectations. In Paris Saint-Germain's 3-2 away win over Lyon in the last round, Chevalier was criticized for both of his goals conceded, and people questioned Chevalier's position in the game. Thierry Barnerat, who was Courtois' goalkeeper coach, spoke about Chevalier's problem on the show.

Thierry Barnerat first pointed out: "The two goals conceded are very similar, whether the first goal is conceded or the second goal is conceded, the situation is the same. Because Chevalier must follow the tactics of coach Enrique. He needs to keep a distance from his team's back line and be very close to each other to limit the opponent's space. But we cannot instruct the goalkeeper like this, because when defending, the goalkeeper must first guard the goal. , cannot be fixed at a position 5 meters away from the goal. There is a risk in standing too far, which is also caused by Enrique's tactics."

Thierry Barnelat continued: "Although I am not in their team, I am 100%. Think so. The goalkeeper coach has to influence this. The coach always pays attention to the connection between the lines, but never considers the goalkeeper and their primary responsibility of guarding the goal. In this situation, you must retreat quickly and not stay on the same line as the back line."

Thierry Barnerat also talked about Chevalier's psychological problems: "Two goals conceded are one thing, but if you talk about Chevalier's overall performance so far, it is obvious that he has not reached 100% of his level. These two goals conceded are due to Enrique's tactical guidance. The goalkeeper is in trouble, but the overall performance is completely different. Before signing, he said, 'If I make a mistake at Paris Saint-Germain, there will be three pages of coverage; if I make a mistake at Lille, there will only be three lines of coverage.' He knows this very well. He is under tremendous mental pressure."

Thierry Barnelat finally said: "In the game against Lyon, his body language showed that he had no stable emotions. This was the first time I saw him like this. You can see that his emotions are not stable and he lacks foundation. "One of his spiritual pillars is his family, and his family education is a solid foundation. When his family is attacked, it will make him very emotionally disturbed." Previously, Chevalier mistakenly praised the remarks of a far-right candidate, which caused him and his family to receive a lot of criticism.
