The seasons follow one another and are similar for Gianluigi Donnarumma. Sometimes imperial, sometimes feverish, the last rampart of Paris Saint-Germain always struggles to find consistency, especially during big European evenings. A real minus when he certainly has one of the greatest potentials on the football planet. And meanwhile, Matvey Safonov is lurking in the back.
Matvey Safonov starting against Angers?
Recruited for a tidy sum from Krasnodar last summer, the Russian goalkeeper was not necessarily expected. His arrival still raises questions. For his part, Luis Enrique remains on his guideline: all his players are concerned and he intends to rely on his entire squad. This was confirmed with the surprise start of Matvey Safonov against Lens last week.
And it could be that he will have his chance again this Saturday evening. Indeed, Matvey Safonov is in the balance with Gigio to take his place in the red and blue cage for Angers (11th day of Ligue 1). A great opportunity for him to demonstrate his qualities. What he has, for the moment, not really done, it must be admitted.
A real playing card
During his first speech, the Russian international had also announced the color, affirming that he was not in Paris to play the simple understudies. And with the excitement shown by Gianluigi Donnarumma against Atlético, he must believe it. To prove, also, that PSG did not bet on him for a simple reason of returning favor in the transfer window.
