On the eve of the resumption of the French championship, which will begin with a match between Le Havre and Paris Saint-Germain on Friday evening, Luis Enrique appeared before the press. The opportunity for the technician to discuss several hot topics, such as the transfer window or the hierarchy of goalkeepers.
At the very beginning of the summer, the French champions registered the arrival of a new goalkeeper, the Russian Matvey Safonov, for around 20 million euros (bonuses included), in order to compete with Gianluigi Donnarumma. An arrival that reshuffles the cards in the goalkeeping hierarchy, as confirmed by Luis Enrique.
Luis Enrique: “I never tell anyone they will be number 1, 2 or 3”
“I never tell anyone they’re going to be number 1, 2 or 3. I want to see my players in training and they have to be ready when I call them. I want all my players to be ready when I call them.”declared the former Barça coach.
So there will definitely be competition between Gianluigi Donnarumma and Matvey Safonov this season at PSG. For the moment, the Italian goalkeeper has a head start, as he should be a starter at Le Havre, but he now knows that he will have to string together good performances if he doesn’t want to sit on the bench.
