Tuesday evening, during PSG’s defeat against Bayern Munich (0-1) in the Champions League, the start of Matvey Safonov in place of Gianluigi Donnarumma was debated. Samir Nasri, consultant for Canal+, did not mince his words on this subject, expressing doubts about the relevance of this choice.
“He doesn’t provide any more guarantees than that, Safonov. If we start him for his kicking game, I find his kicking game as mediocre as that of Donnarumma,” declared the former French international. For Nasri, Safonov’s performance did not justify the confidence placed in him for this crucial match.
“I would put the third goalkeeper”
Always critical, Nasri even suggested a bold alternative: “If it’s simply for the kicking game, then I put the third goalkeeper (Arnau Tenas), who is far above the other two. » Despite Luis Enrique’s arguments on Safonov’s recovery qualities, this choice did not convince Nasri, who believes that Donnarumma remains better on his line and more decisive in major meetings.
