A strong choice for a crucial issue. Luis Enrique and the Paris Saint-Germain are already up against the wall this Tuesday, before a perilous trip to Munich to challenge Bayern. And if the Spanish technician is adept at rotation, it is not the attack, the midfield or the defense that will focus all the attention, but the goalkeeper position.
In recent weeks, the PSG coach has created competition for this very specific position by giving playing time to Matvey Safonov. The Russian goalkeeper started a match for the second time in Ligue 1, Friday evening against Toulouse (3-0).
Safonov still tenured?
Asked if Safonov could shake up the hierarchy with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Luis Enrique made Luis Enrique: “Maybe yes, maybe no. You saw I improved my French. » Still, the Spaniard had made a tactical choice, without mentioning the quality of the Russian goalkeeper’s recovery.
After his first start in Ligue 1, Safonov returned to the bench to make way for Donnarumma against Atlético, with the result that we know (1-2 defeat). The Italian’s performance that evening was disappointing, once again in C1. A balance sheet that could benefit its competitor.
The expected lineup for PSG : Safonov or Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Joao Neves, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha – Dembélé, Lee, Barcola.
