'Stay in the present, stay focused' - What Filippi told Maignan before Milan-Lecce
"This season, Maignan has been a man reborn. His form has been superb, and the Frenchman is back to looking like one of the best in the world. Unfortunately, for months, his performances came with a slight pain, given that his contract is up in the summer. However, talks are going well now, according to reports, and he could extend his deal very soon."
"One man who has been particularly important to the decision is Filippi, who has helped the goalkeeper return to his previous levels. The coach is regarded as one of the best in the business, and it is clear that the pair have a great relationship. Before the game, this was proven further. Rather than giving him specific pointers, before the game, Filippi just reminded the Frenchman of his ability, and this has been revealed thanks to footage from DAZN, as relayed by MilanNews."
Mike Maignan kept an eighth Serie A clean sheet against Lecce while enjoying a return to top form. His performances have improved markedly this season, restoring his reputation as one of the world's best goalkeepers. Contract negotiations due to expire in the summer have been a concern but are reportedly progressing well and an extension could arrive soon. Coach Claudio Filippi has played a key role in Maignan's resurgence, strengthening their relationship and providing targeted mental preparation. Footage from DAZN showed Filippi advising Maignan to remain present and focused, reinforcing confidence and concentration ahead of the match.
