“If we talk about Matvey, his season has started, but at PSG, they bet on another goalkeeper. As soon as it is his turn, he will accept the position. You just have to give him a chance and expect him to make mistakes. As for the national team, we will support him in this situation and we will select him without hesitation, even if he has not played a match yet. Because in Russia, you can count on the fingers of one hand the number of goalkeepers who play for European clubs”he declared, before confiding that Safonov confided to him about his situation at PSG. “He is doing well, he is biding his time. He will have it”he said before responding to the journalist who asked him if the player was thinking of leaving Paris this winter. “As far as I know, no one is thinking about it, neither at the club nor Matvey himself”.
