Playing against France, Donaruma bets on Italy: This team will come back strong

Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to face France in Italy's Nations League debut, a game that is anything but banal for him.

Regarding today's meeting, the goalkeeper said at the press conference: "It has a wonderful effect to play here, because I have a special relationship with Paris, it is my second home. It will be a great emotion, it will be a special match, but we have to give our best. It will be a stimulating challenge after a disappointment like the European one, but we are ready. A new cycle is starting for Italy, there is work to be done, but I see the right approach".

Against today at 20:45, "Axurrë" will have one of the strongest national teams in the world. “Would I prefer a soft start? No, it will be a nice challenge, nice to play. After all, we live to play these games. The emotions we feel are beautiful to experience and it's good to face a team like France. We will have to fight, we will have to give everything and do the things we tried in training", said the goalkeeper of Italy on the eve of the match.

XIXO'S ADVICE – Didie Deschamps has many champions at his disposal, some of whom Donarmma knows well, such as Barkola, who is still his teammate, and Mbappe, who has been playing for Real Madrid for a few months now. "I spoke with some of the friends who play in France - admitted the Italian goalkeeper -. They are really strong, very. On the other hand, I gave some advice to my teammates on how to handle them, but they are unpredictable and we have to pay attention to different situations, manage the game well and not leave spaces on the field.

The French are very fast and technical, so the less space we leave them, the less they will need to go back. It will be very important how we will manage the progress of the game". Finally, Donaruma spoke about how he found the Italian group again, especially knowing how badly the elimination from the European was experienced.

"I found a very united group and with some young guys who are integrating well. I see a desire to fix things, to do well, to show that we are a great team and that we are not those of the European Championship. I'm happy to be back and I'm happy to resume this path", concluded the captain of Italy.
