The match ended in a 1-1 draw, but a specific pattern in Safonov's play caught the analyst's eye.\n\nRothen observed that Safonov repeatedly chose to kick the ball out of play for a throw-in rather than initiating a short passing sequence from the back. This was a notable departure from PSG's typical build-up play under manager Luis Enrique, where the goalkeeper is usually integral to playing out from the defense.\n\nAccording to Rothen, this was not a sign of poor technical ability or nerves from the Russian international. Instead, he believes it was a deliberate and calculated instruction from the coaching staff. \"When the ball goes out five, six, seven times, I don't think it's a problem with his feet. It's simply an instruction,\" Rothen stated in his analysis for RMC Sport.\n\nThe strategy, while seemingly counterintuitive by surrendering possession, could serve multiple purposes. It may have been designed to relieve intense pressure from Bayern's high press, allowing the PSG defense to reset its shape. It also disrupts the rhythm of the opposition's attack and provides a momentary pause in a high-stakes European knockout tie.\n\nSafonov, who has been in impressive form and gained international recognition, was likely following a specific game plan. The decision to bypass the risky short-passing game against a team known for its aggressive pressing like Bayern Munich highlights the nuanced tactical battles that occur at the highest level of football.\n\nThe 1-1 result leaves the tie finely balanced ahead of the return leg. Rothen's insight sheds light on the micro-decisions and pre-planned strategies that managers like Luis Enrique employ, even if they occasionally puzzle observers expecting a more possession-based approach from a team like PSG.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Former PSG midfielder Jerome Rothen claims goalkeeper Matvei Safonov deliberately kicked the ball out of play multiple
