PSG Player’s Unexpected Hobbies: Games, Math & Myths

When they are not playing matches or training, PSG players have free time to pursue their passions. Some of them like reading books or watching movies, but others have very different hobbies. For example, a Parisian particularly appreciates board games, mathematics and even mythology.

To be able to be a starter at PSG, you must not make mistakes and Lucas Chevalier can attest to this. The goalkeeper who arrived last summer at the capital club recently had to give up his place to Matvey Safonov in the Parisian goals. The former Lille player is currently unable to give satisfaction and Luis Enrique so decided to make him sit on the bench. It remains to be seen whether this will have a beneficial effect on the Frenchman.

Safonov is well integrated into PSG

The fact of having regained the starting place in the cages of the PSG is not, however, a coincidence for Matvey Safonov. According to information from RMC Sportthe Russian international is very well integrated into Paris and he is very appreciated by the entire locker room who love his jovial personality. In addition, he now speaks French fluently, which facilitates communication. But the former player Krasnodar shines especially on the pitch where he has been decisive several times, such as in the final of the Intercontinental Cup facing Flemish where he shone during the penalty shootout.

The unusual passions of Matvey Safonov

When he’s not shining on the pitch, Matvey Safonov indulges in his passions in his Yvelin residence or in Paris. The Russian international particularly enjoys mathematics, taekwondo and swimming according to RMC Sport. The goalkeeper of PSG also likes to play board games and he owns more than 100 of them. The doorman also visits many museums in the capital, to satisfy his passions for mythology and science. Enough to have busy days.
