In Matchday 4 of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain traveled to the Stade Francis-Le Blé this Sunday to face Stade de Brest, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory. Speaking to PSG TV, 27-year-old Parisian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov commented on the win.
Safonov: “Brest is a team that always creates chances and opportunities.”
“It was tough. Every match here against Brest is difficult. I think I’ve played against them three times before, so this was my fourth match against them tonight. Brest is a team that always creates chances and opportunities to score. I’m very happy that we managed those moments today and didn’t concede a goal; that’s very important. It’s our first clean sheet of the season, and I hope we can keep it up.”
It was a difficult but important victory for PSG, who managed to weather the pressure without conceding in the second half. It took a bit of luck to withstand the attacks from Brest, who were determined to equalize and turn the game around. PSG, who are gradually finding their rhythm, managed to hold firm this time.
While not everything was perfect, the three points are obviously what matters most. The week-long break will also be highly beneficial, allowing the Parisians to prepare thoroughly for the Classico awaiting them next Sunday at the Stade Vélodrome.
