"I always try to improve and I am with a coach who is the best in these situations he will help me and we can do lots together, said Donnarumma. You have to sniff out danger and read certain moments in a match: there are moments you can play and moments where it is better to kick it long, especially if you have a difficult situation in a final."
"After winning the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain last season, Donnarumma was in the XI that lost July's Club World Cup final to Chelsea. Before summer I knew City were very interested in me, he said. The relationship strengthened after the Club World Cup. I knew the coach was pushing for my arrival and it spurred me on. PSG signalled he was for sale after Luis Enrique signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille."
Gianluigi Donnarumma believes Pep Guardiola will improve his ball-playing and help him develop. He joined Manchester City from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day for about £30m. The move surprised observers because he is viewed as less accomplished with his feet than Ederson or James Trafford. Donnarumma accepts criticism and says goalkeepers must judge when to play out or clear long under pressure, especially in finals. He expects Guardiola to prepare the team differently each match. City showed interest before the summer and contact strengthened after the Club World Cup, which spurred his transfer desire.
