that’s why a laugh takes him away from Milan- Corriere.it

by time news

Losing and laughing, all together, as soon as the defeat is complete: can it be? For Milan fans (almost all) no, it is not admissible: when they saw Donnarumma joking with his Lazio colleague – also former teammate – Reina on the lawn of the Olympic stadium, they went crazy. And they went to the keyboard, of course, to express who anger, who disappointment, who disdain. The game was fundamental, the Rossoneri collapsed, and Gigio seemed to be enjoying himself.

An image that could not leave indifferent. Indifference? Superficiality? Poor professionalism? Or, simply, the non-hypocritical behavior of a champion who gives everything in the game – and Donnarumma also saved Milan on Monday in Rome on a couple of occasions – but then he goes back to being a boy who has just turned 22 and laughs at the jokes of an old friend? THEThe debate is open, there is a bit of everything inside: the sacredness of football, respect for the shirt, the god of money, the relationship between champion and fans, gratitude for the club that raised him. With the addition of the band, which the goalkeeper wore against Lazio as the real captain, Romagnoli, has now become a reserve.


In the background there is the interest of Juve, who would like to take the opportunity to hire Donnarumma gratis – apart from the hefty commissions to be paid to Raiola – but he has to get rid of Szczesny, who still earns 6.5 million. A market intertwining with unpredictable developments. Laughter after defeat risks becoming a way to make goodbye less painful. Milan fans already let off steam on Monday night between Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and downloaded Donnarumma. “Too bad that the contract expires at the end of the season, I wish it had expired tonight,” writes one. And again: “Take off the band and go where Raiola tells you.” Speaking of captains, in the stands there was one who won something with the Rossoneri shirt, Maldini, and he had no desire to laugh.

He too is annoyed (euphemism) by the turn that the negotiation for the renewal of the goalkeeper has taken, as are all the managers, up to the property. Yet Paolo himself knows how complicated the relationship with the fans can be: after a life full of triumphs at Milan, at the moment of farewell he was challenged by his South curve. Donnarumma is not the first to fall into trap dshe defeated with laughter, even abroad there were episodes that are remembered: Kroos and Bale in a Betis-Real 2-0, current Inter Sanchez in an Arsenal-Bayern 1-5. Ma a Fabio Capello, one who really cared about behavior, doesn’t seem so serious: “Of course, after a defeat like this we can expect something different, but I wouldn’t make a case of it. Reina is a friend of his, they probably joked. Unfortunately, today with social media everything is amplified. If I were Donnarumma’s coach, I wouldn’t be angry. For nothing”.
