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.

Against Toulouse, Luis Enrique made a large turnover which also affected the goalkeeper position. Friday evening, Matvey Safonov took the place of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Doubt is allowed regarding the identity of the starting goalkeeper this Tuesday evening, against Bayern Munich. Present at a press conference, Vitinha spoke about this choice.
A few days after a shock Champions Leagueit is logical to see the coach of the PSG renew its starting lineup by giving the chance to young players like Yoram Zague. However, it is more surprising to see Luis Enrique change starting goalkeeper. Because for this unique position, having a series of meetings allows you to gain rhythm and, above all, to maintain a good dose of confidence. By entrusting the cages to Matvey Safonovthe coach of PSG did it weaken Gianluigi Donnarumma’s state of mind?
Luis Enrique leaves doubts lingering
Asked about this change during the meeting with Toulouse Friday evening, Luis Enrique remained evasive and escaped the journalist's question by joking. “ 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)” confided the Spanish coach of PSG.
“It’s the coach who decides”
But the subject is real. Because a non-tenure of Donnarumma facing the Bayern Munich would sound like a terrible disavowal for the Italian goalkeeper, who has been in competition since last summer. Present at a press conference this Monday, Vitinha spoke out on this matter. But the Portuguese midfielder did not wish to interfere in the affairs of Luis Enrique. « Safonov played, he was good, we were happy for that. When all players are active, it's good for everyone. Afterwards, it is the coach who decides » he blurted.
