Gianluigi Donnarumma, 25-year-old goalkeeper, did not take part in the 1-0 victory against Lens this Saturday as part of the 10th day of Ligue 1 (PSG/Lens video summary). However, he spoke on the sidelines of this match in an interview on Sportmediaset and did not fail to greet his coach with strong praise.
Donnarumma “He manages to ensure that each of us expresses ourselves as best we can”
“Humanly, he is fantastic. He manages to get each of us to express ourselves at our best, he keeps us all on our toes and never makes anyone feel relegated. It's very important for the group.
Donnarumma « We must try to follow him as much as possible”
On a footballing level, we all know him, I think he's a phenomenon and he brings us a lot. We must try to follow it as much as possible if we want to achieve truly important results. »
These are strong words, which will obviously bring a smile to the negative specialists who fight every day to demonstrate that Luis Enrique is a “marble” or that Donnarumma is a “cardboard” goalkeeper. You also have to know how to listen to the players' words to understand what is happening.
Everything is not perfect in this PSG, but we have to see that something is happening. We can not buy into the game or criticize the time it takes to overhaul this team after the departure of big stars, but we also have to look at what is happening.
We note an overall defensive improvement, few defeats, few chances conceded and a lot of scoring actions in each match. Efficiency is not always there, but overall, this team is learning, growing and forging an identity, whatever the pessimists who lurk around the club say.
