Donnarumma says he gets along with senior AC Milan keepers

AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma says he gets along with his senior keeper rivals.

The 16 year-old No1 insists there's been no problems with Christian Abbiati and Diego Lopez.

Donnarumma said, “I have a great relationship with Abbiati. He gives me advice on a daily basis, he helps me a lot and I can only thank him for everything that he is doing for me.

“When helping me, he has also been hard on me, and that is only right and I am fine with that. At the start of every game he tells me to stay calm and do what we work on in training.

“Also Diego Lopez, with all of his experience, has given me a lot of tips and so has the goalkeeping coach [Alfredo] Magni.

“Everyday he tries to help me on specific areas of my game and it's only right that he is very demanding. I also have to thank the Coach.

“Sinisa Mihajlovic has been a key figure for me, he jokes around a lot with me, and I have a wonderful relationship with him."
