Enzo Maresca backs Gianluigi Donnarumma after Manchester City errors, calls them normal

Enzo Maresca has defended goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma following mistakes in the match against Manchester City, insisting that such errors are a normal part of football. The Italian shot-stopper was at fault for goals during the game, but his manager offered full backing, highlighting the player’s overall quality and importance to the team. Maresca’s comments come as a clear signal of trust in Donnarumma, who has faced scrutiny since his high-profile move. The manager also confirmed that five players were granted three days off after Saturday’s fixture, a decision aimed at managing workload and morale. This support is crucial for Donnarumma’s confidence as the team prepares for upcoming challenges. The backing from the coach may help silence critics and allow the goalkeeper to refocus on delivering consistent performances in the weeks ahead.
