In the French capital, the question continues: “When you have two goalkeepers in whom you have total confidence it would be unfair to give priority to just one” said the Argentine coach.
An inevitable evil. At least for now. From a distance, Mauricio Pochettino makes it clear to Gianluigi Donnarumma who in recent days had complained about the fact that he was not the indisputable holder of the PSG. Contrary to Milan, who however left last summer, as a free agent. But for the coach of the Parisian club the time has not yet come to choose between the blue and his rival Keylor Navas, with whom he has established an alternation that works for now, as he explains in an interview with the Equipe.
Courage
–
“When – underlines the coach – you have two goalkeepers in whom you have total confidence and who show every day that they can play, it would be unfair to give priority to just one. It does not mean that one day I will not make a choice, but it must be understood that it would be easier to determine who is the owner and who is not. Instead, it takes courage to put them in competition, to make it clear that they must be ready. PSG’s courage in taking Donnarumma when it already had Navas and Rico should be highlighted ”.
Responsibility
–
A courage that implies a change of strategy, according to Pochettino: “It would be a problem instead to indicate a starter who plays them all, especially if he gets injured. From the moment the club decided to take on Donnarumma, the best player in the European Championship, despite the fact that there was already a starter like Navas, there was nothing to do but adapt. It is up to us to tell them: the best solution is to be put in competition and manage you ”.
Bad

In short, the impression is that the alternation between the posts will continue at least for some time. Probably until we enter the hot part of the season, starting with the Champions League round of 16, when we need maximum concentration and therefore maximum stability. Even in goal. For Mino Raiola, Donnarumma’s agent, the stalemate is destined to resolve itself in favor of his client. Although Gigio suffers at least a certain frustration as leaked in recent days by the retirement with the national team, with which he made some atypical mistakes: “At Milan – the goalkeeper said – I was used to always playing from the beginning. Now I don’t it’s easy. The rivalry with Navas bothers me, even if it doesn’t affect my performances. Sometimes being on the bench hurts me, but the situation will be resolved. ” Not immediately, according to Pochettino. Tomorrow, there is the match against Nantes. The last was played by Navas. In theory, therefore, it’s up to Donnarumma: in theory.
