Atalanta, Tottenham, and Napoli: three fundamental steps in AC Milan's season between Serie A and the Champions League = three clean sheets. The defensive players may change, but the goalkeeper remains the same, and has become an added value for Stefano Pioli once again, as relayed by MilanPress.it.
Mike Maignan has regained his place in goal and has restored confidence to the whole team. He hasn't conceded a goal for 290 consecutive minutes between club and national team matches (3 games): the round figure is just around the corner. The most indicative figure of his impact on the Rossoneri can be seen in the last 9 outings: 6 clean sheets with only 6 goals conceded in the other three matches (2 against Fiorentina, 1 against Salernitana, 3 against Udinese).
As reported today by Il Corriere dello Sport, Magic Mike's numbers this season have worsened compared to last season, in which he conceded a goal every 110 minutes (this season it's every 84'). There is still time to improve his average.
