In the ocean of mediocrity in which PSG bathed against Lorient, Gianluigi Donnarumma survived and it is difficult to attribute to him the ninth defeat of the year for his team this Sunday afternoon against Lorient (3-1) . However, it was the Italian goalkeeper who appeared in front of the journalists and who took his responsibilities to discuss the new poor performance of his training.
The goalkeeper was particularly upset after this new failure and expressed his annoyance at the too many setbacks suffered by PSG at the Parc des Princes, where Rennes, Lyon and now Lorient have won in the space of ‘a month. With well-chosen words.
“It’s difficult to speak today, we were angry in the locker room. Tomorrow we will work together. But, hot it is difficult to speak, recognizes Donnarumma. If I speak, I would be afraid of regretting the words I am about to utter. We are not in crisis, but we are angry and all disappointed. We lost too many points at home. We are sad for the public who came. We have to think about what to improve on the pitch. We listen to a lot of things and we focus on finishing the season well. It is important for everyone. »
“We must be pissed off”
While a success would have allowed PSG to get closer to an eleventh title of champion of France, the Parisian club sees the threat of Olympique de Marseille growing, which could return to five points in the event of success this Sunday evening against Auxerre. Gianluigi Donnarumma urged his partners not to be satisfied with the situation and to take refuge in work to avoid a catastrophic end to the season. “We have to stay focused and get back to work,” explained the Italian. We must be pissed because the situation is not normal. The problem, we must see it in the locker room, we must understand what went wrong. Winning the championship is very important to us. We have a great desire. »
While a general demobilization awaits the whole club five days before the end of the championship, Donnarumma wanted to support his coach Christophe Galtier, again on fire from criticism after this new defeat. “There are too many criticisms of the coach and we don’t like it, claims the Parisian goalkeeper. We are moving forward with him. Everyone is with the coach, until the end. We’re all gonna talk tomorrow and see what went wrong. Now we have to win all the matches to win the championship. »
