PSG Goalkeeper from Russia: No Phone Signal, But Not Needed

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Matvey Safonov has shared his thoughts on rejoining the Russian national team camp, where he was called up for friendly matches against Nicaragua and Mali. “Hello everyone! I’ve arrived in Krasnodar to play for the national team. I’m staying in the same room where I spent almost my entire career – so much nostalgia! On the first day, I walked around smiling, feeling a sense of family and closeness in everything I saw. Yesterday, I managed to see my family – I spoke live with my parents for the first time in a year. It was very unusual to return to my part of the city: there was no phone connection, but it wasn't necessary, as I’ve been traveling these roads since childhood. I’m already looking forward to the match. I know almost all tickets are sold out, but I never doubted there would be maximum support at home. I can't wait for the game and the emotions of returning to where it all began. See you on the 27th!” Safonov wrote on his Telegram channel. The first match will take place in Krasnodar on March 27, and the second on March 31 in St. Petersburg.
