Safanov is not convincing when it comes to dealing with crosses, but I think...
One issue with him is that he's just got a very unorthodox style.
And this is something that has been kind of talked about and written about in the French sports media.
French goalkeepers are generally taught quite clean technique.
Things are supposed to be effective, but also to look kind of elegant.
You're not kind of just like madly like swatting the ball away.
You kind of...
you know, give off a sense of being in control.
And I think the Russian school is not quite the same.
And Safanov reminds me of those kind of slightly mad goalkeepers that you'd get, you know, coming out of Russia or Eastern Europe in the 90s.
But Safanov has been really effective actually for PSG this season.
The second leg of the quarterfinal against Liverpool at Anfield, he was exceptional.
And he looks flappy, but he actually does manage to punch corners away quite frequently.
And this season in Ligue 1, PSG have only conceded five goals from set pieces.
So it hasn't looked like an issue.
It is obviously going to be something Arsenal will target, partly because it is a strength of Arsenal's and also because just on paper, Arsenal have the players to potentially dominate PSG in the air.
Yeah, I mean, this season, it hasn't felt like a recurring issue for PSG, but
I would have thought that they will be, you know, they will be severely tested in that domain.
And I think a big objective will be just not, you know, don't concede set pieces.
Do whatever you can not to concede corners and, you know, try and cut the threat off at source.
