DBasia.news – Gianluigi Donnarumma has been used to high demands from a young age. As a result, Donnarumma will not be affected by pressure.
Even though he is only 22 years old, the Italian international goalkeeper already has high playing time. Prior to joining Paris St. Germain, Donnarumma has strengthened the AC Milan first team for six years.
Donnarumma even made his debut with the Rossoneri at a very young age at 16 years and eight months in October 2015. After that, Donnarumma slowly became the main goalkeeper of Milan and then the Italian national team.
Donnarumma played an important role in Italy’s success in winning the European Cup 2020. His performance earned Donnarumma the best goalkeeper trophy at the 2021 Ballon d’Or Gala and received recognition from IFFHS.
The goalkeeper who graduated from the Napoli football academy revealed his strengths as a goalkeeper. It was his ability to manage pressure, which he had felt from the start.
“I’ve always wanted to be a goalkeeper, I don’t feel pressure, and that’s my strength,” Donnarumma told PSG’s official media. “I always took good care of him, even when I was very young.”
“It gives me an advantage, playing at the San Siro at the age of 16 is not easy at all. But I always try to stay calm.”
Donnarumma has made just 10 appearances for PSG. There had been rumors that Donnarumma was unhappy because he had to share a role with senior goalkeeper, Keylor Navas.
“I’m happy in Paris, there hasn’t been much change and I’m fine with the team, with the club, with everyone here. The fans welcomed me well, I’m grateful and I believe that I will always give my best for this prestigious jersey, which deserves a lot of wins and respect,” concluded Donnarumma.
