Luis Enrique stands by Donnarumma and explains his decision

Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, explained to Sky Italia the “shocking” sidelining of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper whose contract with PSG runs until 2026.

“I am 100% responsible.”

“One of the best goalkeepers in the world, no doubt, and he’s an even better person. But this is the life of top-level players, I am 100% responsible for this difficult decision. This decision is related to the profile of goalkeeper my team needs,” said Luis Enrique, as reported by Guillaume Pacini.

Without mentioning the contractual situation, Luis Enrique takes the lead and emphasizes the sporting aspect, with his philosophy of play. Some will no doubt get upset and criticize him, especially after PSG’s next defeat. But the Spaniard is consistent in his approach and makes his choices. He fully takes responsibility for his position. This is what led PSG to a historic season last year. That doesn’t mean everything will always work out, but at least we can keep in mind that he doesn’t make decisions at random.
