Rayan Cherki has been making a strong impression since his arrival at Manchester City. However, his style of play continues to attract criticism, especially from observers like Christophe Dugarry.
Manchester City made a good move last summer by recruiting Rayan Cherki from OL. The French international quickly adapted to English football. He is now one of the most enjoyable players to watch in the league and has become more decisive than ever.
Facing Chelsea this Sunday, he once again stood out to help his team secure three points. Despite his good performances, some still criticize him for his flashy style on the field. This includes Christophe Dugarry, who does not see him as an exceptional player.
In recent hours, on RMC, the consultant expressed his frustration with the former Lyon player: “What is Cherki’s style? Are the others blind? Are they puppets? Who is this guy different from? Why should we treat him differently? Is he better than Olise? Is he better than Doue? Is he better than Barcola? We need to stop thinking that every time he touches the ball, it’s a one-man show… He needs efficiency in his game. Guardiola has said it, and he also explained that he needs to press more, which is important in modern football.”
Regardless, Rayan Cherki continues his journey at Manchester City and is expected to be part of the team’s trip to North America next summer with the French team. This season, across all competitions, the attacking midfielder has scored 9 goals and provided 13 assists.
