Parisian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov allowed the Red and Blue to qualify by stopping the attempts of M’Bala Nzola and Andy Diouf.
A performance which will allow him to gain confidence and assert himself a little more in this Parisian squad.
After the match, the Russian international spoke in the mixed zone about this penalty shootout, his preparation for training and his level of play. “I think at one point I got lucky because my hand stop was helped by the bar. At that moment I thought I had conceded a goal, but I was lucky. It was also an emotional moment. What if I had written down the players’ names on a piece of paper? Everyone has their little secrets and I’m not going to reveal them to you (laughs). » he told PSG TV.
Before continuing on his level of play at the start of the season: ” Paris ? It’s very interesting for me, it’s a new level and of course I needed time to adapt. I understand the coach’s requests better now. When I arrived, the first training sessions were terrible because it was going too fast. I needed time to raise my level and now I am ready to play, to be in this team. »
