Italian media blame Gigio Donnarumma for his poor attitude in a post-match interview with Rai Sport and Twitter users troll the goalkeeper for his attitude and performance against Germany.
The 22-year-old was fuming after Italy’s 5-2 loss against Germany last night and things got even worse during his post-match interview when he was quizzed over his many mistakes with the ball at his feet.
Gigio refused to take responsibility, claiming that his previous error against Real Madrid in March had been due to a foul of Karim Benzema. Italian papers and media outlets hit out at the former Milan goalkeeper, calling him ‘arrogant’ and questioning his ability to understand mistakes and work on them to improve.
‘Questions must be asked’ – Donnarumma’s argument with journalist sparks debate
Tiziana Alla, the journalist that interviewed him after the match, was praised by most of his colleagues for asking the right question and dealing with Gigio’s irritability following the final whistle.
Italy fans are also not impressed by Donnarumma’s attitude and have criticised him on social media after the match. This time, criticism doesn’t only come from Milan fans but also other clubs’ supporters.
Donnarumma has had a tough season at PSG but was still named Best Goalkeeper in the Ligue 1 for 2021-22. Last week, he argued with a Milan fan who had insulted him outside the after a Nations League clash against England.
