Ravanelli assumes that Juve will regret not having brought Donnarumma again. Even as a youth player, he was impressive.
Former striker Fabrizio Ravanelli reported in an interview about an impressive trial training session for young Gianluigi Donnarumma at Juventus Turin. Across from Tuttosport the 52-year-old speculated that the old lady should now regret not having signed today’s European champion for the second time this summer.
“The bitter thing is that ten years ago we would have had to invest just a little to beat Milan in the race for him,” said the Ravanelli, adding: “What a shame, he would have been the perfect heir for Buffon. Now Szczesny is here who is also a great goalkeeper, so I understand the club and Allegri’s decision. “
RavanelIi: Donnarumma “was different from the other guys”
In the 2011/2012 season Donnarumma completed a trial session at Juventus, as the then youth coach reported: “I can remember a strong, explosive and impressive little boy. He held everything. So much that none of our boys from outside the sixteenth against Donnarumma could meet. “
Ravanelli recalls that the current national goalkeeper could hardly be overcome from a shorter distance: “We exposed him to a large number of shots from the area around the penalty spot. But it was still almost impossible to score against him. Everyone was speechless. He was different from the other guys. “
Juventus: According to Ravanelli, Donnarumma should have been signed ten years ago
The former striker said it was “easy to say today” but said he had “told the goalkeeping coach at the time that this boy should be signed immediately because he is sure to be a top player.”
From today’s perspective, this statement can be rated as correct: Donnarumma, who instead went to AC Milan in 2013, officially switched to PSG a few days ago and is already considered one of the best keepers in the world.
At the EM 2021 he saved two attempts in the final penalty shootout against England, thus leading Italy to the European Championship and was voted the best player of the tournament.
