That it could be a complicated evening, Mike Maignan had known for days. In Udine last year the goalkeeper had been the protagonist of a strong gesture like that of leaving the door because it is targeted by the howls of part of the Juventus curve. What the French could not imagine is that this time the field should abandon him in advance on a stretcher, covering his face after a terrible blow with the teammate Jimenez. The first diagnosis, with Magic Mike – conscious – immediately transported to the hospital for investigations.

Whistles

Throughout the first half, every touch of the ball Maignan had been made the subject of whistles (complete with whistles) by the hottest sector of home cheering. However, Mike had not distracted, first sending almost on the goal of the goal with a millimeter launch, then safely rejecting the hehizibue’s diagonal in the only, true Udine opportunity of the first 45 ‘.

That

The recovery opened with some chorus not properly cute against the Frenchman, who took his place in the posts, under the curve of the house. And in the 7 ‘, the fact. Maignan in desperate exit collides with Jimenez and stays on the ground. Lying and immobile. Moments of fear, with his companions all around him. The doctors put about 2 ‘to load it on the stretcher and lead him off the pitch, with Mike who covers his face with his hands still cheeky. This time, the whole stadium abandoned itself in an applause of solidarity. Then the race in the hospital, where he spends all night before the morning in Milan by car.
