Gigio Donnarumma has been heavily criticised by the AC Milan fans ever since he decided to leave the club on a free transfer. Even though it’s been two years, the goalkeeper is still struggling and it’s not just the Rossoneri fans.
Italy will face Ukraine at San Siro on Tuesday evening and they have thus been training at Milanello today, and will train there tomorrow as well. For Donnarumma, it’s a special situation and he’s not expected to be well-received at the stadium (as we have seen before).
Speaking live to Tutti Convocati, the Sky Italia journalist Peppe Di Stefano shared his thoughts on the ‘hostile climate’ that has been created around Donnarumma. He made sure to highlight that it’s no longer just the Milan fans criticising him.
“Donnarumma? Even today there are 50 fans at Milanello, they all blow up if you talk about Gigio. The problem is that it’s not just the Milan fans. By now a hostile climate has been created even with the rest of the fans. Tonali? I expect a great welcome,” he stated.
The goalkeeper has been very prone to mistakes since leaving the Rossoneri, which has hurt Italy as well. The added pressure of the fans is probably not doing him any favours, but ultimately he made his own bed.
