A point earned with regret in Turin, Christian Pulisic’s missed penalty stopped Milan, who went no further than 0-0 against Juventus. A scrappy game, the type Massimiliano Allegri and Juventus often play. More chances for the Rossoneri than the Bianconeri, who have more to regret at the end of the 90 minutes. Milan were also saved on one occasion by Mike Maignan.
The French goalkeeper produced a stunning save on Federico Gatti, a masterpiece that prevented worse trouble and a defeat that would have hurt a lot.
Under coach Massimiliano Allegri, Maignan is experiencing a second life after an inconsistent season last year.
After a league campaign marked by several poor stretches, the turning point has now arrived, with a coach who, when it comes to a goalkeeper, focuses on shot-stopping and pays little attention to play with the feet, as relayed via Milan News.
Max’s defensive philosophy is helping Maignan a lot.
In these early games he looks more assured and explosive, gradually returning to his best level. His contract renewal remains in serious doubt, but football is unpredictable for this reason. You never say never, especially with a strong character like Allegri coaching you. For now, the first goal is to remain a key figure between the posts, while the future offers few certainties.
