Honorary President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Vyacheslav Koloskov said that the transfer of Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov to PSG is justified.

On Sunday, PSG defeated Lens on penalties in an away match in the French Cup. Regular time ended with the score 1:1; in the series of 11-meter kicks, the PSG players were more accurate – 4:3. Safonov saved two shots in the penalty shootout.

— Today, Safonov’s move to PSG is justified. Even when Donnarumma was healthy, Matvey still received playing practice. As soon as the Italian was injured, Safonov immediately became number one. He performs and plays consistently, which he confirmed in the Cup match. Therefore, of course, his move to PSG is justified. And I am sure that he will improve there.

Will Safonov be able to become the permanent number one at PSG? It’s difficult for us to say anything here. To talk about this, you need to know how people train. In fact, Matvey was hired to replace him. That was the point. This means he has abilities. Whether this will work out in practice or not, we’ll see,” Legalbet quotes Koloskov as saying.

Safonov is 25 years old; in the summer he moved to the Parisian team from Krasnodar. In total, he has eight matches for PSG.

Pedri commented on the new format of the Champions League: An unexpected look from a football player

Barcelona midfielder pedri He answered the question about his attitude towards the new format of the Champions League with the general group stage.

“Do I like the new format of the Champions League? I can’t say with 100% certainty which format I like more: this one or the previous one?”

If I have to choose, I will do something new: There were more matches between strong teams in the first stage,” said Pedri, as quoted by Esquire.

Before the 2024/2025 season, the group stage of the Champions League consisted of eight groups of four clubs each. All participants played six matches in their respective foursomes, home and away, against each of the three opponents.

Martinez explains why Ronaldo is still irreplaceable in the national team

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.

– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?

“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.

Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
