Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke in defense of the team’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Recently, there has been discussion in England that the Italian is not as good a passer as the former City goalkeeper. Ederson. According to journalists, weak football prevents Donnarumma from becoming a fundamental player for the team as the Brazilian was.
Guardiola, responding to a question about Donnarumma, said:
Donnarumma is really very good at playing with pace and short passes. Yes, he can’t make long passes like Ederson, but no other goalkeeper has Ederson’s passing ability. But Gijo is really good in terms of composure, making the first move, making decisions and short passes. It’s much, much better than people think.
