Paris Saint-Germain continues its march forward and its good momentum in Ligue 1. The Rouge et Bleu largely won at the Parc des Princes this Friday evening against Toulouse FC as part of the 12th day of the championship (3 goals to 0).
Starting in the Paris cage in place of Gigio Donnarumma, Matvey Safonov had an interesting match against the Toulouse team, showing himself good in his restarts and decisive on his line, particularly in the second period.
A match which relaunched debates concerning competition with Gigio Donnarumma. In a post-match press conference, Luis Enrique was mysterious regarding the hierarchy of his goalkeepers. “Can he shake up the hierarchy? Maybe yes, maybe no. You saw I improved my French,”
he blurted.
Matvey Safonov ready to shake up Donnarumma
Arriving this summer in the French capital from the Russian club Krasnodar, Matvey Safonov wants to establish himself in the Parisian cage. Upon his arrival, the 25-year-old goalkeeper showed his ambitions to become the club’s true number 1.
However, since the start of the exercise, it is Gigio Donnarumma who has been favored by Luis Enrique, despite some good appearances from the Russian when he was lined up. At the microphone of
DAZN after the victory against Toulouse FC, Safonov returned to his situation with the Italian.
“I think all our matches are quite similar. We share matches with Gigi and we only have a few opportunities to do good things and put ourselves forward. We have to create more chances than our opponents. With Donnarumma? This is a normal situation. We prepare him for this type of situation. Maybe at the stadium it looks difficult but it was easy for me. Yes, it wasn’t bad. We have a normal situation. We work together and we progress together. »
