Galton: Donnarumma s value may rebound, Simeone s attitude towards penalty kicks is a dereliction of duty

After the quarterfinals of the Champions League, former French star Galton believes that the value of some players will change, and Donnarumma is a typical figure. Galton said: Donnarumma's value may rebound. The young Italian goalkeeper suffered a lot of criticism after leaving Milan, and his condition in Paris Grande has also fluctuated. Many people think that his peak belongs to the 2020 European Cup, and since then, his abilities have begun to decline. However, Donnarumma passed the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals and proved that he was still a super goalkeeper, so his value may rebound. After all, before this, Donnarumma's net worth had dropped to 35 million euros, and he also had a reputation as a "traitor" and his path to returning to Serie A was blocked.

Donaruma was famous for his ability to save penalty kicks when he was in the Ross and Blacks, which means that his value fluctuates and he relies on his saving point efficiency. Then when he showed this talent again, it was normal for his value to rise, but the extent of his recovery depends on his performance in the later stage of this season and in the Champions League knockout stage. Regarding the progress of the Champions League quarterfinals, Galton also mentioned the keyword of penalty shootout. Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Madrid derby were both decided through penalty shootouts. Simeone's comments at the pre-match press conference were dug up, and he said that the team did not need to contact the penalty kick, Atletico Madrid was not prepared for the penalty kick, and they were going to end the game within 120 minutes.

In Galton's view, Simeone's attitude towards the penalty kick was a dereliction of duty. It is a good thing that he has confidence before the game, but he completely gave up the connection to the penalty kick and preparation for the penalty shootout, which is the coach's dereliction of duty. Because in knockout matches, the coaching staff needs to make all-round preparations, including penalty shootouts. With Real Madrid still ahead of Atletico Madrid, Simeone's giving up the penalty is definitely a dereliction of duty by the coaching team. If Simeone prepares for a penalty shootout before the game, the bed sheet army might be able to create a miracle. However, there may be deeper strategic considerations hidden behind Simeone's decisions. He knows very well that the penalty shootout is not only a contest between technology and psychology, but also an extreme test of the players' psychological endurance.

Under high pressure, even the calmest shooter may miss, and once the penalty shootout begins, any minor mistakes may become the key to determining the direction of the game. Therefore, Simeone may focus more on improving the team's performance in regular time and overtime, hoping to win the game directly with an overwhelming advantage and avoid placing the hope of victory on an unpredictable penalty shootout. In addition, Simeone's trust in the players is also a factor that cannot be ignored. He may believe that with the overall strength and fighting spirit of Atletico Madrid players, resolving the battle within 90 minutes or 120 minutes is the most in line with the team's interests. Although this kind of trust seems risky, it is also a recognition of the team's spirit. Regarding the probability that Donnarumma's net worth may rebound, Galton emphasized that this situation itself is also tied to the club's record. Although Enrique's relationship with Donnarumma is subtle, the latter is currently the undisputed number one goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain.

If Paris Saint-Germa can usher in the Big Ear Cup, then the value of Duo Narumma will definitely rise, and the management of Prince Park will try its best to keep him. Moreover, Galton believes that the Champions League this season is a very good opportunity for Paris Saint-Germain. After all, with the farewell of stars such as Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, Paris Saint-Germain's lineup has been updated, and if the defensive end can have a stable performance like Donnarumma as a guarantee, their Champions League path will undoubtedly be more solid. Donnarumma's performance in key games, especially his judgment and save on penalty kicks, will become one of the key factors in determining whether Paris Saint-Germain can go further. Every wonderful save of his may become a catalyst for the team's morale boost and contribute to the rebound in his value.

In addition, Galton also mentioned that the construction of Donnarumma's personal brand cannot be ignored. In the era of social media, the public image and business value of players are also important factors that affect their value. If Donarumma can continue to highlight in the next game and show a positive image off the court, it will undoubtedly further enhance his market attractiveness and add more possibilities to his rebound in value. Therefore, for Donnarumma, every next game is a stage to prove himself and regain his former glory. Whether he can seize this opportunity will not only affect the direction of his personal career, but will also have a profound impact on Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League journey.
