Fabio Capello, the former Milan coach, finds that the whistles against Gianluigi Donnarumma are logical.
Former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello was not surprised by the reception given to Sandro Tonali on Tuesday evening at the San Siro.
Capello prefers Tonali to Donnarumma
The Newcastle midfielder returned to the Lombardy confines for the first time since leaving Milan for 80 million euros in the summer. The local supporters gave the international azzurro a warm welcome. And this contrasted with the way Milan fans treated another former Rossoneri player, PSG goalkeeper Gigio Donnarumma.
Every time he performs at San Siro, and although he wears the La Nazionale jersey, Donnarumma is entitled to deafening boos. He was not forgiven for his departure from the club. Why this contrast with his young teammate. Capello believes he has the answer.
Speaking after this Champions League match, the 1994 European champion coach: “Donnarumma left on a free transfer, that’s the substantial difference. The departure of Tonali, on the other hand, allowed Milan to invest a lot in the market: for this reason, he is applauded and Donnarumma whistles. »
