Matvey Safonov's luggage lost at Moscow airport before flight to Tashkent
Matvey Safonov, the goalkeeper for the French grand club PSG and the Russian national team, faced an unpleasant and unexpected situation upon arriving at the national team's training camp for international friendly matches.
The goalkeeper posted a video message on his official Telegram channel, revealing that his luggage had been lost at the Moscow airport and explaining the bizarre problem that arose due to his upcoming trip to Tashkent.
"What a stupid situation": Nighttime ordeal in Moscow
Safonov revealed that he arrived in Moscow from France and reached the team's base in the middle of the night, only to lose time at the airport:
Cleats survived: "Believe it or not, it's around four in the morning now... I arrived in the middle of the night and I'm at the base. What a stupid situation... They lost my luggage. One of them. Luckily, my cleats weren't in it, so at least I have something to wear for training";
Bureaucracy and waiting: "We realized the suitcase wouldn't turn up, but they told us to 'wait.' We waited, filled out applications and documents";
Flight to Tashkent and the resulting problem: "So what happened now? It turns out the luggage can only be picked up by the person who checked it in. They are saying, 'We will deliver it, no problem, within two days.' But by then, I will have already flown to Uzbekistan, and Marisha (his wife) will have gone to Krasnodar. Who will receive the suitcase then? In short, that's how the training camp started. Thanks a lot, really."
