Gianluigi Donnarumma once again disappointed in the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain. Starting in the match against Arsenal (2-0) at the Emirates Stadium, the Italian goalkeeper was at fault for the Gunners’ two goals. After his disappointing performance, the former Rossoneri was the subject of strong criticism, with some analysts not hesitating to compare him to Geronimo Rulli, the new goalkeeper of Olympique de Marseille.
Christophe Lollichon, goalkeeper coach at USL Dunkirk, clearly expressed his preference for the Argentinian. Since his arrival in Marseille, the Ajax defector has had an excellent start to the season, distinguishing himself with two decisive penalty saves against Romain Del Castillo (Brest) and Alexandre Lacazette (OL) in Ligue 1.
“Donnarumma is only reactive”
“If I have to choose between Rulli and Donnarumma, I take Rulli a hundred times, because he is proactive while Donnarumma is only reactive. Rulli is one of the best goalkeepers in the French championship. He knew Ajax, Villarreal… I saw his progress. He is entering a period of maturity and OM needs a goalkeeper like that”explained the Nantes technician for BFM Marseille.
“He goes very fast, in the air sector he goes very high and he wants to intervene. He reminds me a bit of David Raya from Arsenal, because he wants to intervene. And that’s really interesting because it relieves a defense. He wants to influence, it shows in his face, it shows in his attitudes”judged Lollichon.
