Donnarumma: The role of goalkeeper has changed a lot. Coming to Manchester City can learn from Pep Guardiola

On October 25, Donnarumma accepted an exclusive interview with the "Post" and talked about the reasons for leaving Paris to join Manchester City this summer.

It was surprising that Donnarumma, who was the core of Paris' Triple Crown last season, landed in England this summer. When talking about the reason for his transfer, the player said that he came to Manchester City to learn: "The role of the goalkeeper has changed a lot. Now I can learn from Guardiola. In order for me to get more help, I need to have a deeper understanding of certain key scenes to help the team improve."

Part of the reason for Donnarumma's departure from Paris was the failure to agree on contract extension conditions, and Paris coach Enrique also hinted that the team needs different types of players. In this regard, Donnarumma said: "In recent years, people's requirements for goalkeeper's footwork have been greatly improved. During the game, the goalkeeper needs to try to use your foot skills to provide substantial help to the team. In some cases, you must have a clear understanding of the game situation and support the team when it is difficult to control the ball. The goalkeeper needs to continue to improve and understand, and Guardiola can help me in this regard."

Talking about handwriting letters to each teammate in Paris before the Champions League final, Donnarumma said: "We are here The team has gone through some difficult moments together and has had a few close calls in the Champions League. But we overcame those difficulties together in the end, so before the Champions League final, I felt it was my duty to express to them how I felt about the experience we had experienced together this season. I wanted to use this letter to convey how much I value them and maybe inject some motivation into the game. They will always be in my heart and all of them are my brothers. But we all know what the Champions League final is like, and the victory is not because I wrote letter, but winning that game was the perfect ending to our lives and this team's season. "

After coming to Manchester City, Donnarumma and Harland quickly became inseparable good friends. Donnarumma said: "It is impossible to explain the deep friendship between us in words. We have brought a very positive influence to each other. It can be said that we met each other." Even before we met, we always respected each other. We often joke about being in We played against each other in the national team competition. Their current situation is much better than ours, so their mentality is more relaxed. But there are still two games to play and it will be difficult to face each other because he is a very strong player. "

When asked whose shot was the most powerful, Donnarumma said: "I think it is Haaland. He is a left-footed player, different from Mbappe. They are both difficult to deal with, so it is complicated to compare, but I would rather have Haaland playing for my team. "
