Is it inevitable that goalkeepers play with their feet a lot? Can you handle criticism?
“I have broad shoulders and I can manage it, just like I manage praise. It’s part of your job. In the game, it’s normal that you have benefits but sometimes you take a little risk, in some games you take risks a lot becomes complicated and you have to know how to manage certain situations. It has changed. The role is a lot, and I was fortunate enough to work a lot on it already from the youth sector in Milan and I already had the possibility of playing the ball from behind. Certainly in some moments of some matches you don’t have to risk much, football has changed.”
