From its exceptional European championship made with the Blues last summer, Mike Maignan can no longer put the ignition. It's simple, the French goalkeeper is going through the most painful period since his arrival at AC Milan four years ago. It would be dishonest to attribute to him the elimination of AC Milan in C1 against Feyenoord on Tuesday, but the ex-Lillois is lucid enough to know that he is expected at another level than that he displays in these days .
Last week during the 1/8 final to go to the Dutch club, Maignan was guilty of a nasty hand for the goal of peace. An error fraught with consequence, since Milan was not able to win in the return match this week (1-1), and therefore took the door from the 16th finals. But this error is not an isolated case, since it is the echo of other false notes, as in front of Cagliari lately.
A new goal gag this afternoon
After the first leg against Feyenord, Sergio Conceicao had not wanted to condemn his goalkeeper in the public square: “It's a shame to take this goal, but these are things that can happen (Maignan's error, editor's note). It was not a lucky match for us ”was content with the Portuguese technician. The player trained at PSG added: “Some errors disturb me but these things happen.” Surely a little too much right now. This afternoon, AC Milan lost to Torino (2-1), and Mike Maignan was once again on the family photo of the first goal, comic in all respects.
After anticipating a long aerial ball, the Frenchman released him in the back of Thiaw, before seeing him Ricocher in his own goal. A moment of loneliness, clumsiness, and questioning, which caused a second one, one minute after the equalization of Reijnders. Abandoned by his defense on a free kick played two, Maignan was too short and too helpless to repel a cross shot from Gineitis. We will not go so far as to argue that his extension or that his place as a bruises holder are in danger, but Maignan will quickly have to roll up their sleeves.
