Pep Lijnders on Rayan Cherki: “If you combine maverick with the willingness to win every day, you will become a top player. You change your technique, your creativity to hurt the opposition.
We are working with him to always receive the ball to hurt the opposition. You saw the pass to Antoine [Semenyo]; the feeling, the timing… When he faces the goal he becomes so, so dangerous. It’s for all the other players to make sure he receives the ball in these pockets and these spaces.
The work ethic without the ball [against Liverpool], that defines Cherki this season, how he is growing. He’s still not [at his best], he knows this, and he wants to improve as well.”
