Winning the derby and return to the top of the rankings. This is the gift that Gigio Donnarumma wants to do and wants to do to the fans of Milan in view of the 22 years old to be done on Wednesday 25.
The Rossoneri goalkeeper will touch on Sunday 200 appearances in Serie A, despite his very young age, but has never played a direct match of this importance for a goal like him scudetto.
It is therefore neither risky nor rhetorical to speak of the derby on Sunday 21 as the most important match of the career as predestined of the number 99 Rossoneri, who spoke about it in a long interview with ‘Sky Sport’, in which, however, Donnarumma reiterated that the seasonal goal is to return to the Champions League. The rest, we’ll see …
“I don’t know if it’s the Milan stronger since I have been here, but now we are more team, we are good together, we have fun and we are a great group. I think this is the key to aiming high. It is a Milan that can fight, that must not be satisfied. Our goal is the Champions League, but we will do the calculations at the end “.
“It’s a great emotion, it was a long time since we had a derby with this classification – he continued – We are aware that we will have to play a great match to bring home a positive result. If I close my eyes I hope he will decide Ibrahimovic”.
Donnarumma then identified the turning point dell’it was Pioli: “After the lockdown, after the match against Juve, we understood that we could make a turn and everything started from there. We work well with Mr. Pioli, we are well on the pitch, we work a lot on the defensive phase which has been one of the main aspects this year, now we have to continue working because we have not done anything yet, we still have a lot to do and we hope to continue having fun “.
What Donnarumma cannot or does not want to talk about yet is his own future. As said by the agent Mino Raiola the negotiations for the renewal of the contract expiring next June proceed with the lights off. The person concerned is not unbalanced: “I am living the moment serenely, as I have always lived the years here at Milan. I’m calm, I always try to give my best and always lend a hand to my teammates, training 100% and giving everything for this shirt “.
