Rayan Cherki has been impressing 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. Today, he is one of the most enjoyable players to watch in the league and is more decisive than ever.
Facing Chelsea this Sunday, he once again stood out to help his team take all three points. Despite his good performances, some still criticize him for his flair on the field. Christophe Dugarry, in particular, does not consider him an exceptional player.
Dugarry stands by his opinion
In recent hours, on RMC’s airwaves, the consultant expressed his frustration with the former Lyon player: “What is Cherki’s style? Are the others blind? Are they fools? 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? Stop thinking that every time he touches the ball, it’s a one-man show… He needs efficiency in his game. Guardiola said it, and he also explained that he needs to press more, and in modern football, that’s important.”
Nevertheless, Rayan Cherki continues his journey at Manchester City and is expected to be part of the team travelling to North America next summer with the French national team. This season, across all competitions, the attacking midfielder has scored 9 goals and provided 13 assists.
