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?
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.
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.

Russian Football Federation (RFU) hopes that the International Football Federation (FIFA) will follow the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (THAT IS) subject to the admission of youth teams. The Secretary General spoke about it in an interview RFU Maxim Mitrofanov.
In December THAT IS recommended removing all restrictions for young Russian athletes and allowing them to participate in all competitions with the anthem and flag.
“This recommendation has become an important event for all Russian sports. We see that in many sports international federations are making decisions on the admission of our athletes,” Mitrofanov said. “And there are more and more such decisions.” Recommendation THAT IS plays an important role in this process. Let’s proceed from the fact that FIFA this recommendation will be heeded.”
“At the same time, it is important to understand that the popularity and attention, including at the state and political level, towards different sports in Europe are different. The large international basketball, hockey and football federations are more careful in analyzing the decisions they make. They probably already realized that they have overdone it in 2022. Now it is even more difficult for them to get out of this situation, also because they are afraid of facing the position of a large number of countries which, at the state level, will hinder the implementation decisions about our return,” Mitrofanov added.
Russian clubs and national teams have been suspended from international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.

Invitation from the Togliatti Akron striker Artem Dziuba joining the Russian national football team was a positive event. This opinion was expressed in an interview by the general secretary of the Russian Football Federation (RFU) Maxim Mitrofanov.
In March Dzyuba scored against the Grenada team (5:0) and passed Alexandra Kerzakova in terms of goals for the Russian national team, he scored 31 goals.
“I rate it positively [приглашение Дзюбы в сборную]. I think it was a good decision by our coach [Валерия Карпина]Mitrofanov said. “The footballer deserves this opportunity. I am quite relaxed in counting records, but for the players and fans this plays a role. It is also important that the coach allowed the player to prove himself, showing that he had no conflict with Artem.”
“He is a good guy and a good footballer and he took the story very positively. He managed to score, it was clear from Artem’s emotions that he really wanted it,” Mitrofanov added.
In December Kerzhakov announced on his Telegram channel that he had sent a request to the International Football Federation (FIFA) about the authorship of the second goal of the Russian team in the friendly match against the German team on June 8, 2005 (2:2). If RFU admits that the goal was not scored Andrei Arshavinand Kerzhakov, then he will again share first place with Dzyuba.
