Sunday evening for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France, PSG qualified against RC Lens. Matvey Safonov distinguished himself by stopping two shots on goal from Lens.
PSG will see the next round of the Coupe de France following their qualification on the lawn of Lens this Sunday evening. Nothing was easy for Luis Enrique's men in the north of France. The two teams had to wait for the terrible penalty shootout to decide between them. In this little game, it was PSG who did the best. Matvey Safonov notably stopped two shots on goal from Lens, allowing his club to qualify. The Russian has been gaining momentum in recent weeks and should have playing time at the start of January, especially if Gianluigi Donnarumma struggles to recover from a facial injury suffered against Monaco. However, nothing was gained for Safonov when he arrived in Paris last summer.
Safonov, the beginnings were hard
At the end of the match against Lens, the former Krasnodar player admitted that he was not at all at the level of a club like PSG before making his mark, he who had been recruited by surprise general for 20ME last summer in Krasnodar: « Paris ? It's very interesting for me, it's a new level. Of course, I needed time to adapt. I understand the coach's requests better now, everything is easier for me. When I arrived, the first training sessions were horrible because it went too fast. I needed time to raise my level. But today I am ready to play, to be in this team.” It will still have to be shown during the second part of the season, but in any case, his words prove one thing, the Ile-de-France group is working hard under the orders of Luis Enrique who wants to make the competition work more than ever.
