Dino Zoff, the former Italy goalkeeper, spoke about Gianluigi Donnarumma, currently in difficulty with the Squadra Azzurra.

Gianluigi Donnarumma is no longer unanimous on the other side of the Alps. Since the draw conceded by Italy against North Macedonia (1-1) this Saturday, the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper has had his ears ringing. And many fans of the Squadra Azzurra are now campaigning on social networks for Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to succeed him in goal.

Indeed, Gigio can blame himself for having conceded the equalizing goal for the Red Lions on a set piece in the last quarter of an hour of the match. As a result, criticism from the press was quick to rain down on the native of Castellammare di Stabi. Andrea Masala, the journalist for La Gazzetta dello Sportalso invited the ex-Rossoneri to “demand more of himself before it is too late”, not without calling into question the progress of the 2020 European champion since his arrival in Paris during the summer of 2021.

The Parisian goalkeeper can, however, count on the support of former glories of Italian football like Dino Zoff who believes that: “It’s normal to have ups and downs. Maybe someone forgot what he did against England and Spain at the Euros”recalled the 1982 world champion to the Milanese sports daily.
