But the Russian international is well aware of the international stature of the PSG. Questioned by the channel Youtube Nobelthe former doorman of Krasnodar defended his new formation, often criticized for its lack of history. And in the eyes of Matvey Safonovthe PSG is one of the biggest clubs in the world. “In my last match at Krasnodarchildren shouted at me: ‘Don’t go to Paristhey have no history!’ But how old is the PSG ? 54 years old. Is it a young club? Without history? How old is the FC Krasnodar ? Fifteen or sixteen years. I don’t understand. They have a history. They are a top club. They have won a few trophies in Europe (the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1996, editor’s note), not the Champions Leaguebut still. The PSG is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I wanted to go to PSG. His biggest dream is to win the Champions League and we will win it.”
