He usually looks a lot more confident than how he played last night versus Samp. After that near-blunder, I hated to see him get the ball passed back to him. In the previous games, he would control the ball, drag an attacker closer to him and then pass the ball successfully or clear the ball to one of our players (usually he was successful)... but last night I counted about 6-7 cleared balls carelessly and he did seem low on confidence. I don't know if Raiola's comments about him being worth 170m was a smart decision... the kid is fucking 16 and his agent is announcing to the world he's 70% more valuable than the most expensive player in the history of the sport? Fucking Raiola.. I understand he looks after his player's best interest but he also needs to understand what to say and when to say it... I'm just hoping that these comments didn't get to Gigi's head and I hope he plays versus Crotone to regain some confidence back.

From the opening mistake it looked like Samp were putting two players on him when the ball was played back to him. He has been very confident on the ball maybe too confident. There is only so long he can trick players before he gets caught out and loses possession. Even the experience keepers lose the ball when it is passed back to them.

To be put in at 16 and continue to play at Milan he must be one of the greatest prospects they have ever seen. Very few players especially keepers start at so a young age. He is still a boy.

Christian Abbiati praises fellow Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma - ?he?s exceptional?.

The 16-year-old has become the first-choice Rossoneri goalkeeper under Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, with the veteran happy to play the back-up role.

?You?ve seen the qualities he has,? Abbiati said when asked about Donnarumma in the Press conference ahead of the Coppa Italia tie with Crotone.

?He?s got huge margin to improve, he?s a lad with his head on his shoulders and he?s exceptional. He just thinks about his work and doing it in the best way he can.

?Few people have this kind of quality at 16. The Lord looked down on him and said ?you need to be a goalkeeper?.

?My future? I?m fine, I haven?t missed a training session. We?ll see at the end of the season.

?If Abbiati or Donnarumma plays it doesn?t matter, whoever plays deserves it. That?s an important thing.

?I really enjoyed the celebrations on the bench on Saturday [after beating Sampdoria], it?s a sign that we have a great group.?

The 38-year-old also stressed the importance of the Coppa Italia, echoing the words of Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, who is looking to win the trophy.

?It would be nice to win, like every trophy. We have to attach the right importance to it, even more so since we?re only competing in two competitions.?

Highest rated teenagers in Europe’s top 5 leagues this season. There is also Donnarumma. #WhoScored

hopefully he'll stick around and we do not buy a replacement. I'm fully confident in continually starting him. Find a backup when abbiatti retires, we can use lopez as weight in getting another player. I do like lopez a lot, but he doesn't seem to want to be here anymore.

I am trying not to get too excited about him, but he is making that increasingly hard. What is most impressive for me is not his reflexes ( a lot of keepers show can go on a great streak of games where they save 5+ shots in every one), but for his age he is super calm and composed on the ball. And very few teenage keepers are able to be this calm.

"The dream is to win the Scudetto and maybe even raise the Champions League.

"I've seen Milan make great campaigns and I would love to be involved myself.



Lord Donna deserves a lifetime contract
