Donnarumma: “It was important to collect a positive result, the words of the President make me happy”

Gianluigi Donnarumma already thinks about the next match and will see if he could do better on the goal he conceded last night against Napoli.


Milan have started the second round of Serie A well with 15 points from 7 matches and last night they battled a great Napoli side at the San Paolo to get a point.
Gigio Donnarumma was beaten by Lorenzo Insigne but Jack Bonaventura scored one of his own and Milan – with a bit of luck but mainly due to great defensive work – kept it even until the end. Milan remain in 6th place and are 8 points away from third place.
“It was a real thrill. The atmosphere was incredible, but we did well not to be intimidated by it all,” Donnarumma told the Milan Channel at the end of the match on Monday evening. “We all played a great game and we have come away with an important point. Insigne’s shot took a deflection and it went past me and into the bottom corner. On Tuesday I will talk to the coach and see if I could’ve done better.
“Napoli were desperate to win tonight to go back to the top of the table, but we played well. We ran hard and I want to thank all of the coaching staff because we are all training really well. Let’s keep this up. The words from the President (that he’s not for sale for any price)? They always make me happy.
“It was important to collect a positive result and we achieved that. Now however let’s turn our attention to the next match with Torino. We’re all working hard and giving our best for the club.”
