"We're alone. It's us as a team and the opponents. And behind us, the fans. You have to have a pretty mean mentality to be a goalkeeper; you have to be a little crazy. There are some very important words for me: having faith, having discipline in your work, patience, and humility. When we play together, we can achieve great results."
"If I'm here and I'm captain, it's because I've lived my past. In my past, I've met several goalkeepers with more talent, but they didn't have my mentality and my determination. I've had many challenges in my life that have given me this strength in my head, and that's made the difference."
"Discipline means being rigorous, having a way of working, and not ignoring anything. You must never give up, not even when you're down. Humility because you must never forget where you come from and the sacrifices you've made to get here."
Mike Maignan has committed his future to AC Milan by extending his contract until 2031, marking a significant moment for the club. The French goalkeeper attributes his success to a strong mentality rooted in faith, discipline, patience, and humility. Maignan believes goalkeepers require a particular psychological toughness and determination to excel. He credits his past challenges and sacrifices with developing the mental strength that distinguishes him from other talented goalkeepers. His journey has not been easy, but his family's support, particularly his mother's dedication, provided the foundation for his achievements. Maignan emphasizes that discipline means maintaining rigorous work standards and never giving up, even during difficult periods.
