Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
For the fourth time this season, Matvey Safonov was started by Luis Enrique. Against Toulouse this Friday evening, the Russian goalkeeper did not concede a goal, but it will certainly take more to definitively convince his Spanish coach. Author of a new clean sheet, Safonov spoke out on this competition with Gianluigi Donnarumma.
For the first time since November 2, Luis Enrique decided to take tenure Matvey Safonov. A choice which is part of a logic of turnover, while a meeting facing the Bayern Munich in the Champions League is approaching. Gianluigi Donnarumma should find his place against the German club on Tuesday evening. Unless Luis Enrique tries a new poker move?
Luis Enrique leaves doubts lingering
Asked about the hierarchy at the goalkeeper position, Luis Enrique sis shown to be quite enigmatic at the press conference. “ If Matvey Safonov was started for tactical reasons? Yes. If Safonov can challenge the hierarchy? (He thinks and pouts, before speaking in French) Maybe yes, maybe no. You see that I am improving in your language. It’s the accent of Versailles, that (laughter)” declared the coach of PSG after the meeting with Toulouse this Friday evening (3-0).
“For me, it was a normal situation”
Safonov, who aspired to the number 1 position at the time of his arrival, spoke about his understanding with Donnarumma « Yes, there are matches that are shared between Gigi and me. We only have a few situations facing us. We want to play and we have to play. We have to create more chances than our opponents. His double stop? For me, it was a normal situation. We prepare for this kind of situation and it's not so difficult after all. Maybe from the stands it looks difficult but for us it was easy. We have a normal situation. We work together, we do things together and we improve together” confided the Russian goalkeeper to the microphone of DAZN.
