Holder of a Master's degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.

Last summer, PSG welcomed Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov among its new recruits. The latter has not hidden his ambitions: he wants to become number 1. But given the status of Gianluigi Donnarumma, he had to be patient. He had several opportunities to shine on the pitch at the start of the season and Luis Enrique is changing his plans a bit. However, the Spanish coach is singled out.

Number 1 goalkeeper PSG for years, Gianluigi Donnarumma did not expect to receive strong competition from Matvey Safonovwhich does not have great references. The Russian has been preferred to the Italian on several occasions recently, notably during the match against the Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday. Jean-Michel Moutierformer goalkeeper of the capital club, warns Luis Enrique his choices.

“It’s the barometer of the team”

The few irregularities of Gianluigi Donnarumma during major meetings seem to cost him dearly. Luis Enrique decided to do without him to face the Bayern Munich Tuesday, a new decision which goes in the direction of Matvey Safonov. Beyond the Italian's loss of confidence, it is also a not very clear situation within the squad. PSG which is evolving. “But goalkeepers are about trust. I have always said that you need a No. 1 and a No. 2, otherwise you make two bad goalkeepers. But goalkeeper is really a special position. He is the barometer of the team, he can reassure his partners or put them into complete panic if he is feverish and in doubt. reminds Jean-Michel Moutier in comments reported by The Team.

Luis Enrique must choose

And Gianluigi Donnarumma remains the number 1 goalkeeper of the PSGthe Italian's mentality must have taken a hit recently with the tenures of Matvey Safonov. Luis Enrique will have to clarify things quickly. “For me, you have to make a choice at the start of the season and stick to it, unless the starter completely fails. Especially considering the match, beyond Safonov's error, I don't see the difference with what Donnarumma would have done. It’s not Dassaev” continues Moutierwho wore the colors of PSG in the 1980s.
