25-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma did not take part in Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Lens on Matchday 10 of Ligue 1. However, in an interview with Sportmediaset , he was full of praise for his coach.
Donnarumma “He manages to get each and every one of us to express ourselves to the best of our ability”
“Humanly speaking, he’s fantastic. He keeps us all on our toes and never makes anyone feel left out. That’s very important for the group.
Donnarumma “ We have to try and follow him as much as possible”.
In footballing terms, we all know him, I think he’s a phenomenon and brings us a lot. We must try to follow him as much as possible if we want to achieve really important results.”
These are strong words, which will obviously bring a smile to the faces of the negative specialists who fight every day to prove that Luis Enrique is a “marble” or that Donnarumma is a “cardboard” keeper. You also have to listen to the players’ words to understand what’s going on.
Not everything about PSG is perfect, but there’s no denying that something is going on. You may not like the game, or you may be critical of the time it is taking to rebuild this team after the departure of some big stars, but you also have to look at what is going on.
There has been an overall improvement in defence, with few defeats, few chances conceded and plenty of goals scored in every game. Efficiency isn’t always there, but overall, this team is learning, growing and forging an identity, whatever the pessimists lurking around the club may say.
