The goalkeeper coach of the Russian national football team, Vitaliy Kafanov, has currently answered the question of who the main goalkeeper of the team is. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the main goalkeeper at the moment is Matvey Safonov. Kafanov stated that there are also goalkeepers like Maksimenko, Agkatsev, Latyshonok, Lunev, and Mitryushkin in the main squad.
In addition, there are also five to six goalkeepers in the reserve squad. Matvey Safonov is 26 years old and has been playing for the French club PSG since last year.
He has played 14 matches for the Russian national team and has kept a clean sheet in eight of them. This result indicates that Safonov is showing reliable performance.
The Russian national team will hold its next friendly matches in September. The team, led by Valeriy Karpin, will face the national teams of Jordan and Qatar.
These matches will be of great importance for testing the team's composition and giving opportunities to new players.
