Optimism. This is Roberto Mancini’s state of mind regarding his starting goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (23) as Italy approach the play-off semi-final against North Macedonia on Thursday (8:45 p.m. ), in Palermo. Because the PSG goalkeeper is going through a complicated pass at the club, especially since his error which caused the collective fall of the Red and Blue against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
“If Donnarumma’s bad pass worries me? Absolutely not, Gigio, it’s always better to have him with us than against us.”, launched the coach of Squadra Azzurra at a press conference on Monday. The words of the former Manchester City coach should therefore not hurt the former AC Milan goalkeeper, who hopes to bounce back at the best of times with the reigning European champions.
