At 17, Rayan Cherki is still just a kid. But a kid in a hurry. “I am looking forward to the moment when I will have the chance to show everyone that I want to be OL’s number 10 and stay that way as long as possible”, he confided in an interview with Telefoot, aired on Sunday.

Star of the Lyon training, Cherki has already given a glimpse of great promises, even if he may have been frustrated by his playing time this season (26 matches in all competitions but only 5 starts in Ligue 1). He knows he still has things to learn. “When I arrived at the professional level, I said to myself that I was going to do as in U19, U17, N2: play two matches, score two or three goals, make two or three small bridges, and then unfold , says the attacker. But professional football is not like that at all. Not at all as we think. There are times of doubt, times when you’re good, you can go from all to all in a quarter of a second. “

To progress, Cherki says to be inspired ” the best “. “I watch videos of Ronaldinho, Cristiano (Ronaldo), Neymar, even Kylian (Mbappé), and I try to steal what they do best, he said. I’m trying to create my own touch, too, and I think it’s only a matter of time: I’ll be able to replicate what I did when I was younger in big stadiums. “
