In a recent interview with the newspaper Le Progrès, Guy Roux, emblematic figure of French football and former coach of AJ Auxerre, spoke about the talent of Rayan Cherki, an offensive milieu of Olympique Lyonnais. With his always relevant look, the former technician highlighted the significant impact of the young player, which he has been following with attention for several years, attesting to his ability to make a valuable contribution to the Lyon team.

Guy Roux revealed that he was immediately impressed by Rayan Cherki in a match of the French U18 team in Auxerre, qualifying the player as “prodigy” and having even taken the measure to congratulate him in the changing rooms. The former coach insisted on the consistency and technical accuracy of the young man, comparing him to an impeccable student in dictation, where each ball hit turns into positive action.

Finally, Guy Roux noted the evolution of the maturity of Rayan Cherki, who, after a period of a certain impatience, found an emotional balance that allowed him to fully express his talent on the ground. This observation demonstrates the importance of training and coaching in the development of young French football talent.
