“I am not the new Zlatan”: Maignan clarifies his role as leader at AC Milan

The goalkeeper of AC Milan and the French team, Mike Maignan, is expected at the turning point this Tuesday evening against his training club, PSG, in the Champions League. He, who did not really deliver a great performance last October 25 at the Parc des Princes, during the first leg (3-0), will be keen to counter the Parisian offensives to revive Milan, who are very poorly off to a good start, for the right now, in the Champions League.

While the Rossoneri, who remain in six matches without a victory including three defeats, seem in bad shape, Maignan decided to clarify his role as leader within the Lombard team, Monday at a press conference, while certain rumors in Italy evoke a possible return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the staff of coach Stefano Pioli to remobilize the red and black troops. The person concerned took the opportunity to bury this rumor.

“I am not the new Zlatan. My name is Mike, and his name is Ibra. I feel like a natural leader, just like my other teammates on the team. I respect him for what he did, but the past is the past, that's all. I love being here, but we haven't started talking about renewal yet. “It’s not the right time,” said the former Lille goalkeeper. Enough to clear things up before the clash against PSG.
