Gigio the most faithful blue gives him more than the blue of Paris

Play with two fingers joined inside a special glove. This also happens in the youth national team and it happens to those who feel like the national team is a club team.

And Donnarumma, ahead of Germany, will continue the uninterrupted series of fifteen games out of 15 played when there are points for the Nations League at stake. In Paris, Gigio lost his smile. Or, rather, he would like to find it again next season by putting the ballot behind him with Navas: from the night of 11 July, when he did not notice that the penalty tournament was over and Europe was ours, onwards, for Donnarumma it was a path full of traps, including elimination from the Champions League for a mistake with his feet under the blows of Real Madrid. Italy had started the June window with the surprise defections of Lazzari and Zaccagni (“They were fine …”, thus Mancini) and closes it with Donnarumma in goal with a special glove, Pellegrini available despite the annoying tendonitis and Tonali, here in Moenchengladbach albeit disqualified. “A good sign,” says the coach. –
