Under the fire of criticism in Italy after his blunder against Feyenoord in the Champions League, Mike Maignan sees his qualities called into question. But while doubts accumulate, a former PSG goalkeeper has defense, recalling that even the best are experiencing empty passages.
“Maignan remains an extraordinary goalkeeper”
Jérôme Alonzo, ex-Parisian porter, spoke Thursday evening in the Greg's team: “Every month, we have a debate on a large goalkeeper who is worse. It is the life of the guards, more exposed than the other players. The only one who escapes the debate is Lucas Chevalier, but one day or another, it will be less well. Mike is always an extraordinary caretaker, but right now, for x reasons, he is worse. Less lively, less solid on his supports. Against the Feyenoord, it was a big fault. But it remains a huge goalkeeper. »»
Undisputed talent despite the storm
Maignan, however hero of the coronation of AC Milan in Serie A in 2022, crossed a complicated period. But for Alonzo, this drop in diet is temporary and does not at any typical the talent of the porter.
Despite the criticisms, Maignan remains indisputable in the French team, where he took over from Hugo Lloris. The next Blues rally, scheduled for March, could also offer him a bowl of saving air, far from the Milanese pressure. For Alonzo, one thing is certain: Maignan remains a huge guardian, and this difficult period will soon be a distant memory.
