Safonov Congratulates Karpin and Fans on New Year

Paris Saint-Germain and Russia national team goalkeeper Matvey Safonov extended New Year greetings to the national team's head coach Valery Karpin. Safonov and Karpin prepared the traditional "Olivier" salad together, a moment shared in a video released by the national team's press service.

"I wish that you undoubtedly remain as the head coach of the Russian national team, and that the team continues to bring you joy with good results. I also wish all the viewers a delightful New Year and that your celebrations be filled with happiness.

We spoke a lot about warmth and friendship. I hope you celebrate the New Year in the company of your family members and loved ones.

For those who need a visa, may everyone receive it — and may you finally get the chance to meet the people you've long wished to see," said Safonov. The Russian national team is set to assemble again at the end of March.
