Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – Criticism is pouring in on Gianluigi Donnarumma. Today, Thursday, November 12, the Azzurri faced France at San Siro on Matchday 5 of the Nations League, a match marred from the opening minutes by an error from the goalkeeper and captain of Mancini's national team.
In the 10th minute Donnarumma made a real blunder.
The Manchester City goalkeeper received a back pass from a teammate, raised his head and made an unlikely switch with his right foot, but the ball didn't rise and ended up at the feet of Olise, who recovered it on the edge of the area, easily beat an opponent and made it 1-0.
In short, France's lead was paved by a glaring error from Donnarumma, which received heavy criticism on social media.
“It's unacceptable in today's football to have a goalkeeper who's totally hopeless with his feet. He scores once every two games,” wrote one user on X. Someone revived an unflattering nickname: “Paperumma,” while others questioned the position of the Italian captain: “We have so many good goalkeepers in Italy like Carnesecchi and we're still with Donnarumma?”, “Italy's last appearance at the World Cup dates back to before Donnarumma became the starting goalkeeper, just a coincidence?”
