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.
To challenge Bayern Munich, Luis Enrique made strong choices by leaving Gianluigi Donnarumma on the bench. Already started against RC Lens last Friday, Matvey Safonov will keep the Parisian cages this Tuesday evening. News that left Canal + consultants speechless, notably Samir Nasri and David Ginola.
This Tuesday evening, Luis Enrique declared the end of the hegemony of Gianluigi Donnarumma in the cages. Arrived this summer, Matvey Safonov will play the second Champions League match of his career against Bayern Munich. But unlike his first appearance, the Russian goalkeeper does not benefit from Donnarumma's injury. This tenure illustrates the Parisian coach's desire to shake up the hierarchy at the goalkeeper position. But this decision left the consultants present on the set dubious. Canal Champions Club on Canal +.
Nasri is not convinced
« ISafonov doesn't give me any more guarantees than that. If we change him to the kicking game, I find his kicking game as mediocre as that of Donnarumma. Afterwards, on his line, Donnarumma I always found him good and decisive. See Luis Enrique’s explanations. If it's simply for the kicking game, I put the third goalkeeper who is well above the other two » said Samir Nasri.
“For me, it’s a slap in the face for Donnarumma”
Former player of PSG, David Ginola is of the same opinion. “ It looks like a sanction. When we play against Bayern Munich and we are Donnarumma and we have Neuer in front of us, we want to be facing the best. When you're facing a goalkeeper of that rank, when you're Donnarumma, you say to yourself: “The coach puts me on the bench, he makes Safonov play.” For me, it’s a slap in the face for Donnarumma” he confided. Stroke of genius or incomprehensible decision? The result will provide the answer.
