Gianluigi Donnarumma Confesses That He Hasn’t Stopped Crying After Italy’s Elimination Against Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Italian national team's goalkeeper broke down after the defeat against Bosnia in the World Cup qualifying match
Italy's Elimination and Donnarumma
Gianluigi Donnarumma spoke after Italy was eliminated from the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, having lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1 on penalties after a draw in regular time. The Italian goalkeeper broke down and confessed that he has not been able to recover since the match.
Donnarumma's statements
“Last night, after the game, I cried non-stop. I cried out of disappointment for not having been able to take Italy to the place it deserves. I cried because of the enormous sadness I feel, along with the entire Azzurri team, of which I am proud to be the captain, and I know that you, the fans of our national team, also feel it,” said the national team goalkeeper.
“It's true that words aren't of much use right now. But I feel something very strongly, and I want to share it with you: After such a huge disappointment, we must find the courage to turn the page, once again. And to do that, it takes a lot of strength, passion, and conviction. Always believe; that is the strength that drives us to keep going. Because life rewards those who give their all, without holding back. And this is where we must start over. Together. Once again. To bring Italy back to the place it deserves,” Donnaruma stated.
Another World Cup without Italy
Italy will mark 16 consecutive years without being able to participate in the World Cup, a development that is shocking to the world, given that the European national team has been world champions four times.
