"Firstly, I should point out that we should stop the comparisons between De Bruyne and Cherki, Leboeuf, who played in the Premier League for Chelsea, tells FourFourTwo on behalf of BetVictor Online Casino. They're not the same footballer. De Bruyne was someone who served other players. Cherki is capable of that but he does it far less. He is, however, capable of many things De Bruyne wasn't."
"The skill that he possesses is exceptional. He's like Diego Maradona. There are actually only a few other players on the planet that can do what Cherki can with a football. Sometimes you can barely see the ball. I am so happy for him, continues the 1998 World Cup winner. He's a classic street footballer - someone who grew up on a tough housing estate and had to learn to play football in enclosed spaces, without structure, without rules."
Pep Guardiola signed Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki to replenish creative talent after Kevin De Bruyne's departure. Cherki produced an impressive debut season in England and attracted praise for his close control, inventiveness, and flair. Frank Leboeuf urged an end to direct comparisons with De Bruyne, saying De Bruyne served teammates while Cherki relies more on individual skill. Leboeuf compared Cherki's ball mastery to Diego Maradona and described him as a classic street footballer raised in tight, unstructured spaces, noting tactical development as the primary area for further improvement.
