Despite the great confidence shown by Zinedine Zidane in Rayan Cherki since the start of the international break, the Manchester City player has yet to deliver the expected level, having shown a mixed performance during the match against Italy, which took place on Friday evening at the Stade de France.
Rayan Cherki started the match but delivered a mixed performance, showing some flashes that reflected his technical abilities, alongside some mistakes and inaccurate passes. The player received a rating of 5 out of 10 according to 'Foot Mercato', with a limited impact during long periods of the game.
Zidane has relied on Rayan Cherki again in the midfield position, a role he has given him since the start of the current gathering. However, the player has not succeeded in imposing his influence consistently, and his performance has been quite similar to that of the French national team, which controlled the ball and play but struggled to unsettle the Italian defense and create the necessary danger.
Rayan Cherki needs one more step to establish himself permanently with the France national team, as his technical abilities give him a significant margin to showcase his potential. However, consistency and impact throughout the match represent the biggest challenge for him in the upcoming period.
