Gianluigi Donnarumma has come under scrutiny again following the draw against North Macedonia. The free kick by Enis Bardhi didn’t seem uncatchable. He conceded on his own post and wasn’t explosive enough.
It’s not the first time he had costly blunders with the Azzurri. A few big mistakes have marred his time at PSG. He decided to go abroad to grow. However, he has plateaued, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
Donnarumma suffers from the same issues he had in his early years and might have failed to cultivate his natural talent properly. He was tremendous in the Euro and finished third in the Ballon d’Or rankings that year. Though, his career took a wrong turn afterward.
Luciano Spalletti is thinking about benching him against Ukraine on Tuesday. In that event, Guglielmo Vicario would be the favorite to start over Alex Mert despite the latter’s familiarity with the Tuscan coach. The gaffer wouldn’t be new to drastic decisions on goal. For instance, Alisson backed up Wojciech Szczesny for an entire season in Rome because the tactician didn’t consider him ready.
Our Take on Donnarumma
The next game will take place in San Siro in front of a predictably hostile crowd for him. The Azzurri already have plenty of problems to deal with. It’d be better to remove one since there’s little downside.
