Onana insists that Maignan helped him make his way to the NO1 position while he was with Inter Milan.
“He is a very good keeper and a very good person, someone I appreciate a lot,” Onana told Carre.
“We enjoyed playing each other several times, in Italy, in the Champions League. I had heard about him, he had heard about me and I would always say to myself: “Okay, there is a serious competition.”
“We have to go outside and take each other with us, because we forget everything else on the field. If he has a good kicking, I have to show that I am better. If he makes a good save, I have to show that I am better. '
Onana continued: “The best competitions were when I arrived in Inter. Mike Maignan was the guardian for our rivals. He won the Scudetto, he was the champion of Italy, the best keeper in Italy. I, I arrived at Inter and Simone Inzaghi said: “Samir Handanovic will be my goalkeeper.”
“I arrived and I already felt in conflict, s ***. I arrived like a number two. “
Onana then emphasized the One Milan Derby who changed his career at the Nerazzurri.
“Mike, indirectly, he made me a starter. We played the Derby, Milan-Internal, and I am on the couch. We didn't win enough from the start of the season, it was a bit difficult. Simone Inzaghi was not happy, it was a bit negative and then we played against Milan. We lost 3-2 and Samir Handanovic did not play a brilliant game, but Mike Maignan was huge and my teammates started pushing: “We have to let him play,” so it was this game.
“We wanted to see who was best, who the King of Milan is. And from there I started playing in the Champions League. I played against Bayern, it went well, I played against Barcelona. '
