Brescia striker Alfredo Donnarumma has heaped praise on Inter duo Stefan de Vrij and Samir Handanovic in an interview with transfer market expert Nicolo Schira.
“de Vrij impressed me a lot when we played against Inter, he is the strongest defender in Serie A. It was really hard to face him,” Donnarumma told Schira in an interview which was broadcast on Schira’s official Instagram profile.
He was then asked about who the best goalkeeper that he has come up against is: “Inter’s Handanovic is very strong, but Udinese’s Musso also impressed me so much. He will become a top goalkeeper.”
Next Donnarumma, who is the elder brother of AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi, spoke on who his footballing idol was when he was growing up: “Il Fenomeno Ronaldo was my idol, he drove me crazy.”
The 29-year-old then went on to speak about some of the shirts he has acquired from his fellow players throughout the course of this season.
“This year I have started to exchange shirts. I really care about those of my former companions like Di Lorenzo, Lapadula and Ciccio Caputo. Those of friends also have a special meaning, then I have those of Lukaku, my brother and Palacio, who is a great player, too.”
This season Donnarumma has made 22 appearances across all competitions for Brescia, who are currently propping up all of Serie A having struggled since their promotion. In just over 1100 minutes on the park, the former Empoli player has scored five goals but has not been able to provide any assists.
