Things are clearly not all right with Matvey Safonov.
Krasnodar goalkeeper Matvey Safonov has not been happy with stability lately. Once the guarantor of the reliability of the “bulls” in defense, he lost a lot and no longer looks like a wall. And in the match of the last round of the championship of Russia, he disgraced himself at all, deciding to “play” with the ball in front of the penalty area.
Why did Matthew do this?
Loss in tackle
It all happened in the 70th minute of the match of the 30th round of the WORLD RPL, in which Akhmat hosted Krasnodar. Safonov unsuccessfully received the ball in the penalty area when he was pressed by Grozny striker Islam Alsultanov. To turn off the opponent from the game, Matvey tried to get out of the penalty area through the “Zidane feint”, turning around and stepping on the ball. But the striker made a very competent tackle and took the ball away.
After that, Islam gave the goalkeeper a body, and Ivan Oleinikov, who joined, made a pass to the center of the penalty area for Vladislav Kamilov. Tom had only to get into the empty net, which he did. The defenders of Krasnodar watched the episode as spectators, and Safonov’s desperate jump at Oleinikov’s feet did not lead to anything.

Thanks to a curious goal, Akhmat equalized the score. Then the teams once again exchanged goals scored and parted ways – 2:2.
In general, Safonov’s mistake is an absolutely egregious moment for the goalkeeper of the national team. A terrible reception of the ball made it much more difficult for him, but even in a critical situation, he could play much easier and more reliably by simply knocking out. On the one hand, of course, this is a loss out of the blue, but a pause would allow Krasnodar to return to defense.
court with an ex
Safonov generally ceased to resemble himself. Not without reason in recent matches, Vladimir Ivic preferred to frame Stanislav Agkatsev, who looked very good. Safonov is clearly going through a difficult time.
At the end of May, a scandal involving Matvey thundered. It turns out that the footballer demanded from his ex-wife Anastasia Kazachek that she give him her daughter Maya and pay alimony. In response, the goalkeeper received a portion of criticism, which produced the effect of an exploding bomb.
– Apparently, our great football player was blown away by money and permissiveness. During my pregnancy and after childbirth, he allowed himself to communicate with ladies with low social responsibility and did not even come to pick up his daughter from the hospital. And now he has filed a lawsuit,” Kazachek wrote on social networks.
Litigation, of course, does not contribute to peace of mind. How can you switch to the positive when the whole country calls you, in fact, a cheapskate and a lover of easy relationships?
But Krasnodar is ahead of the FONBET Russian Cup Superfinal against CSKA. It is possible that after what Safonov did, Ivic will again decide to entrust the gate to Agkatsev for the most important match of the season. And Matvey needs to take advantage of the upcoming pause in the games to put his affairs in order.
