During the live broadcast Instagram on “La Giovane Italia”, the Empoli striker Sebastian Esposito he said: “Is it true that I am Gigio Donnarumma’s second cousin? Yes, we already knew each other when we were kids, we went to the trial together at Brescia. We are family friends, more than relatives. The U17 World Cup missed? At the beginning I wanted to go to the World Cup, but it’s better that it went this way because then I made my debut in Serie A and in the Champions League with Inter. It’s a shame to have lost it, but I gained something else.
The penalty he scored against Genoa? He didn’t have to take the ball from Lukaku (laughs, ed.), who gave it to me, encouraged by the whole San Siro. I went towards the ball, but Lukaku was there and I asked him if I could take it. The fans saw the scene and everyone was shouting my name, Romelu turned and gave it to me, passing it across my chest. Is Empoli the right club for a young player? Here there is the possibility of making mistakes that there isn’t in other places. Empoli believes a little more in young players, something that other places don’t do, unfortunately”.
Where did I get my character from? It’s hard to say, I’m exuberant. I’d say from no one, I have a different character from my father and my father, they are more calm and quiet.”
