GdS: ‘No longer works miracles’ – Maignan’s drop-off in form clear to see
Mike Maignan is certainly not the same goalkeeper he may have been a few years ago, and perhaps, even this season the AC Milan shot-stopper has deteriorated a little.
When he first arrived, the goalkeeper was one with promise, and his first years with Milan proved that promise to be correct. A phenomenal goalkeeper and human, who represented the Rossoneri marvellously, as a football team and as a family club.
Whilst the ambassador side of Maignan still remains true – a reason why he wears the captain’s armband – his performances have trailed off a little.
As Gazzetta dello Sport write, the Frenchman ‘no longer works miracles’, and in fact, he is performing worse than a lot of Serie A goalkeepers, even those playing for ‘lesser’ sides in the division – the number stands at 16 better than him for preventing goals.
Mistakes have been more common, as we saw in the Netherlands, which the report deems simple, especially considering it happened earlier in the season too (against Cagliari).
Perhaps, the reason for this may be the constant changing of goalkeeper coaches. Since he joined, he has worked with seven different coaches, which could have had an impact, indeed. Then, there is the personnel in front of him.
Either way, the consistent changes are not doing him any good, whether it be those on the pitch or off it.
As a result of his fall, his position will be assessed by the sporting director when they arrive, however, there have already been suggestions that the Diavolo could return to Lille for Lucas Chevalier.
