Following this, Maignan addressed the media after a 2-4 Serie A defeat against Bologna. He discussed the team’s defensive vulnerabilities to counterattacks and urged teammates and supporters to maintain composure and focus ahead of the upcoming derby. He emphasized the need to improve defensive focus and aggression, particularly within the penalty area, while cautioning fans and critics against making premature conclusions about the team’s strength.
