[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble) I thought we'd moved on from that a little.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=3) Because he'd transferred to City, and because there had been some really good games that were more good games highlighted by an individual moment of brilliance, a beautiful goal, than by consistency.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=14) Unfortunately, we're struggling to get Cherki settled.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=17) But even at club level, lately, he's been worse. It's been stop-start.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=21) The coach still has a little trouble telling himself, “I'll make him a sure starter.”

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=25) He doesn't settle in. I've said it 1000 times, Cherki, is the player you want to love, but sometimes you stop loving him, because you think, “What are you doing?

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=32) What are you doing?” There, he had a billion touches on the ball.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=36) We’ve fallen back into Cherki’s hyper, hyper messy style.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=38) With Cherki, I think the first goal is to bring technical skill.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=41) Who’s the player, so to speak, who’s the most technically gifted and who might play in that style again?

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=45) It’s Cherki. Zizou’s trying something. I think today we’re in a period of searching, we’re in a process.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/RRN3psTXOWr6/en/cherki-s-technical-talent-inconsistency-and-zidane-s-gamble?t=51) You know, I’m not exactly a huge fan of Cherki, either, but it’s worth a try, it might be worth a try.
