Donnarumma: “We’re ready – We’ll look back at those magical nights three years ago”

He wants to relive those magical nights three years ago Gianluigi Donnarumma! Her goalkeeper national of Italy spoke in his face Euro 2024 and declared himself ready for the event, just like the rest of the team.

Then the 25-year-old commented on the match with her Albania characterizing it as insidious challenge.

His statements in detail:

“When you face such an event, the charge comes naturally and the spirit will be the same as it was three years ago: let’s try again to look back at those magical nights. The team and I are ready. I try to advise my teammates, but the team is there and they are charged. Jorginho, Barella and I will give the rest the tips they need to get to the end.”

For the game against Albania: “This is the most treacherous challenge because we are in a difficult group and we cannot make a mistake on our debut. They are fast, they have a good game and tomorrow we cannot play at 79-80%, but we have to be at 100%. We are thinking one match at a time and then we have to win to take the first step in the right place.

Albania have very strong individuals and we should be careful not to stretch because they know how to hurt on the counter attack. We will need firmness, balance and great care not to stretch. The game can be won even in the last minute… A win tomorrow is a must and it will put us in a different position. On the other hand, not getting points will cause us more concern. Although our goal is to score in every game.”



For the leader’s armband: “Being captain is an extra responsibility, but it doesn’t change much. In this group there are many leaders who will be heard just like me. The previous European Championship was fantastic and unforgettable: history has been written and now we are trying to write another one for Italy. Is a three or four player lineup better? For me the important thing is not the unit, but how the game is interpreted: you have to attack and defend as a whole, be cohesive. For me it is of little importance and the coach will decide.”
