Gigio puts his hands on the cup.
The new PSG goalkeeper rejoices for his first international trophy and for the prize of best player of the competition : “We know where we started from, we are a fantastic team and we deserve all of this.” And again on the comparison with a legend come Gigi Buffon: “Gigione is the most strong of all, I just try to get myself get ready e help to the team, he’s number one, then we’ll see where I get to ”
The summer of the Rossoneri goalkeeper was certainly not one of the best easier. Arrived in Coverciano retreat without team, many thought that the troubled farewell from Milan could in some way upset the European of the blue goalkeeper. Gigio, on the other hand, has been from the first day always on the piece, concentrated in training, attentive to details. He demonstrated one much higher maturity to that of an equal age. Because it is always good to remember: Gigio was born in ’99. Despite having more than one hundred appearances with the Rossoneri and both the holder of the door of the national team. We are faced with one of the more goalkeepers strong in the world who, with his 22 years can aim to enter the history of Italian football, without fearing the shadow of such sacred monsters Gigi Buffon e Dino Zoff.
In the group stage the 21 of Castellammare di Stabia is not never been very busy, but since the knockout stage has become one key piece in the successes of the Azzurri. After some criticism for the goal conceded by Arnautovic in the eighth against Austria, Gigio has lowered the shutter of the door and has earned the title of tournament goalkeeper. Starting with the quarter-finals, when his stop his De Bruyne it made half of Europe roll their eyes. Then the match against Spain, where he hypnotized Morata to bring the Azzurri to the final. And finally, the three two decisive penalties saved in the final act of the event, when the error of the usually impeccable Jorginho had made an entire country lose its optimism. After the match against Spain he declared that he always studied the opponents’ penalty takers, but that the instinct of the goalkeeper is essential to save a penalty kick. Today Gigio proved to be a phenomenon in the 11-meter psychology challenge. In fact, when the camera is lowered to the level of the shooter, seeing Donnarumma standing motionless between the poles, with his arms outstretched, makes the goal look much smaller than the 7.5 meters it actually measures.
Now the new chapter of his career will be in Paris, in the team of Neymar, Mbappe and Sergio Ramos. Gigio is ready to take on the world with his gloves
