Former USSR national team goalkeeper Anzor Kavazashvili spoke about trends in training modern footballers, especially goalkeepers, and sharply criticized some of the demands now placed on players in this position. This was reported by euro-football.ru reports .
The veteran expert stressed that the issue is not only about Matvey Safonov — many goalkeepers in European and world football are facing the same problem.
“Matvey is a strong goalkeeper, but he still needs to be taught how to play again. This isn’t only Safonov’s problem — it’s the same with almost all goalkeepers in the world. Now they’ve been conditioned to play inside the penalty area with back-passes: defenders circulate the ball through the goalkeeper, creating danger for their own team. It’s terrible,” Kavazashvili was quoted as saying by Sovetsky Sport.
This season, the Russian keeper has played four matches for the French giant. Matvey is currently recovering from a hand injury.
