Gianluigi Donnarumma shared his thoughts on the Italian national team's failure to qualify for the World Cup.
Idman.Biz reports that the Italian press published the thoughts of the 27-year-old goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper stated that this failure was very difficult and painful for all Italians.
According to him, although it was difficult to accept what happened in the first days, the team is forced to look forward.
Donnarumma emphasized that there are still four years until the next World Cup, and during this time important tournaments such as the European Championship and the Nations League will be held.
He also strongly denied the allegations that he demanded a bonus in the national team.
The goalkeeper noted that the team only receives a reward if it achieves a result, and no one asked the federation for additional payment.
The captain added that his relationship with the federation management and coaches was good, and their resignation is sad for the team.
Let us remind you that Italy was eliminated from the World Cup after losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the penalty shootout in the decisive play-off match.
