Milan Remain Composed After 4-2 Loss to Bologna

Milan captain Mike Maignan said the Rossoneri must stay composed after a 4‑2 home defeat to Bologna at the San Siro, warning against “throwing fuel on the fire.” He added that the team should not draw conclusions from a single match or from a two‑month period. The loss dropped Milan to seventh in Serie A, seven points behind leaders Inter and Lazio, and marked the club’s second defeat in three league games. Maignan highlighted the team’s defensive frailties, noting that they have conceded 11 goals in nine matches and that four came against Bologna. He urged the squad to improve their alertness and aggression, especially in the penalty area, and to analyse the match for lessons. Milan will face city rivals Inter this Saturday at San Siro, and Maignan stressed the importance of staying calm and positive to avoid unrest in the dressing room and among supporters. The comments come after Maignan’s earlier red card in a Europa League tie, but he remains focused on the club’s upcoming fixtures.
