Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappé, France has no shortage of stars in attack. But behind, the next generation is there and Mike Maignan is simply incredible.
The France team continues its perfect course in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, with two successes acquired without forcing against Gibraltar and Greece. Performances that do not necessarily enthuse the crowds, especially on the very rough offensive game deployed. But that has never been a big problem for Didier Deschamps, whose priority is defensive solidity. With an impressive central hinge, the national coach is already reassured. But what about the level displayed by Mike Maignan now that he is permanently installed in the France team? The AC Milan goalkeeper stopped everything, like the penalty against the Netherlands or the header saved at the last second against Ireland.

Still no goal conceded for the former goalkeeper of PSG and Lille in official competition matches with the Blues, and this amazes a Didier Deschamps who sees that the succession is assured after the retirement of Hugo Lloris. “ I had no doubt or uncertainty. There was a relay to take, but Mike in full possession of his means, it’s very high level “, acknowledged the national coach. All with his head on his shoulders, since his recent success has earned him the courting of Chelsea. But Mike Maignan does not intend to change air this summer, and refused approaches from the Blues to focus on his career in the jersey of AC Milan. Certainties and maximum concentration that will make the French goalkeeper a big strong point for the Blues for the next Euro if he continues his momentum.
