Getty ImagesSerie A just as good as Premier League, says Donnarumma
Speaking in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Donnarumma said: "I've been fortunate enough to experience very different realities: from Ligue 1 to the Premier League, where I recently arrived. From afar, I can say that our football is no less than the others.
"In England you run from the first minute of the game to the last minute, it's not like that here, but that doesn't mean it's better or worse. It's just the way it is..."
Getty Images SportDonnarumma has his sights set on the 2026 World Cup
The 26-year-old made his debut for the Azzurri in 2016, just two years after the Italians suffered an embarrassing group stage exit in the World Cup. Although he has led his country to a European championship, Italy haven't qualified for the past two editions of the World Cup. Donnarumma, however, has unshakeable belief in the fact that Italy will be present at next year's showpiece event.
"It won't happen a third time, it can't happen: this national team will end up in the next World Cup. I have no doubts," he said. "The lessons of the past are meaningful if you embrace them: we won't underestimate anyone, we won't take anyone lightly; it wouldn't make sense to do so. And, besides, this group loves each other: we'll be ready when playoff time comes. The word playoffs doesn't scare us, it won't affect us. In this new Italy, the group is healthy, beautiful, united: I can say that with certainty. We feel good together, we feel in harmony with each other."
