Paris Saint-Germain lost again in this Champions League campaign, this time on the pitch of Bayern Munich (1-0). Established in place of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Matvey Safonov missed his aerial exit on the Bavarian goal signed Kim-Min Jae. Luis Enrique’s decision to field the Russian international to the detriment of the Italian goalkeeper surprised more than one. And with the mistake of the former Krasnodar player, the criticism surrounding this choice naturally falls. And as often, they come in particular from Daniel Riolo.
“ The saves he makes, Donnarumma also makes them every day. The problem isn’t the blunder, it’s why embarrass yourself in this game with the goalkeepers? ‘I put you on, I put you on’. Now he has lost Donnarumma. It’s over, he won’t see it anymore. But why did you need to do that? It’s not like you brought in Sepp Maier or Lev Yashin. You brought in Safonov, the ex-Krasnodar goalkeeper! Are we talking about the goal? He was ridiculous. This guy (Luis Enrique) will wear you out, he will end up draining the club because he will have a rift with the supporters because of him. He is one of the coaches who exhausts and drains a club. Mourinho is also one of this type of coach. Is his idea to always want to play the same way or to want to create something new that will surprise the opponent? This guy destabilizes his players. He considers himself a great intellectual. Players love these kinds of coaches initially because they feel valued. The players embrace these new features, the changes in positions… When it works, like in Ligue 1, the guys embrace it. But as soon as you play a team that’s a little square, it’s over, you crash. Especially since this reflection is always accompanied by ‘I don’t need to have stars because my collective will be better than the individuals’ », declared the editorialist of RMCthis Tuesday.
