Russian Korchagin, who played in France, advised Safonov to learn the language
Former Russian football player Eric Korchagin, who played for the French Saint-Etienne, gave advice to Krasnodar goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, who could move to Parisian PSG. His words are quoted by Metaratings.
According to the ex-player, the goalkeeper needs to learn French as quickly as possible. “It will be easier for him right away, he will adapt faster. Moreover, this is a goalkeeper who needs to prompt the defense, talk and lead defensive actions,” Korchagin said.
He emphasized that Safonov should not refuse an invitation to PSG. “France is a championship where there are a lot of physically gifted, tall football players, so it is also important for Matvey to get stronger in order, for example, to play successfully in the outings,” Korchagin added.
On May 25, it was reported that Safonov was close to moving to PSG. It was clarified that the clubs had reached a final agreement.
