Dino Zoff, former Italy national team goalkeeper, spoke on Radio Goal on Radio Kiss Kiss to discuss the upcoming match between Napoli and Milan this Sunday at the Maradona stadium.
Specifically, Zoff compared the goalkeepers of the two teams, Alex Meret and Mike Maignan, sharing a bold opinion:
"Maignan and Meret are already very strong, but they can still improve. Maignan is explosive, Meret perhaps has more technique, but they are both great goalkeepers."
It seems that the former Juventus and Napoli shotstopper, Dino Zoff, does appreciate both goalkeepers, but he thinks that his compatriot is better, technically, than the Frenchman of AC Milan.
Similar numbers between Maignan and Meret...
Mike Maignan was a crucial part of AC Milan winning the Serie A title a few years ago and he has saved the Rossoneri many times. So far, he has 5 clean sheets to his name this season in Serie A and Champions League and conceded 10 goals after 9 matches. Alex Meret who won last season's Scudetto, however, has 4 clean sheets and conceded 14 goals this season after 12 games played this season.
Tell us your thoughts in the comments below, who is the superior goalkeeper, and what do you think of Dino Zoff's bold statement?
