Italian Football Association Chairman: I feel sorry for Donaluma, he is the strongest goalkeeper in the world

Today, Italian Football Association Chairman Gravina was interviewed by Yitian in Udine, talking about the upcoming European Super Cup, as well as Donnarumma's exclusion from the roster by Paris and the future of the national team.

Paris vs Tottenham

"Today, the whole of Europe's attention has been focused on Udinette, which is a very important event because it is the first championship trophy of the 2025/2026 season, and is competed for by two top teams. Udinette has now become the focus of the sports world and will also attract attention worldwide."

Is this a display of Italian football?

"This time the final is a good opportunity to arrange the final in Udine. For UEFA, this is also a recognition of vision, forward-looking and sustainable development, and it is also a recognition of a club that is at the forefront and willing to invest in infrastructure and modern stadiums. I think this is the first stadium that truly takes into account environmental protection and sustainable development, and is a model worth learning from. Especially from the perspective of the 2032 European Cup."

Italian captain Donnarumma will miss this game. What do you think?

"From a personal perspective, I feel sorry that Donaruma is a very emotional person; from a technical perspective, he is a cornerstone for us. I hope he can find his balance as soon as possible, not be disturbed by the outside world, and continue to show his international standards. After all, he is the strongest and most important goalkeeper in the world."

Will Donaruma play against Estonia?

"Of course. If you want to win, you must be able to score goals and defend. Donaruma is obviously an important player. And he and Gattuso immediately established a good understanding. We are not worried, but we are very confident. We believe that in addition to being an excellent goalkeeper, he is also a mature and steady young man. With our care and support, I believe that he can play in the best state, and we will continue to give him care and support."
