Alphadjo Cisse is Milan’s best scorer this season and according to several sources, he’s set to be included in the Italy squad for the November break: but where might be play?
The Azzurri shocked crypto betting sites users during the first game of the season between September and October in a good and a bad way.
Their debut against Belgium was terrible as it ended in a 2-0 win for the visitors at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with fans loudly booing Roberto Mancini’s players.
Italy, however, managed to bounce back in the following three games, securing two wins against Turkiye and one draw away against France.
Mancini had called ten potential debutants for the latest international break and is expected to include more in his squad for the next one.
A player tipped to receive his first senior call-up with the Azzurri is Milan’s Cisse.
Currently the Rossoneri’s top-goal scorer, the 20-year-old can cover multiple roles, from attacking winger to centre-forward.
Scorer of seven goals across all competitions this season, including a hat-trick against RB Salzburg in the Europa League, Cisse has been deployed in several positions by Rossoneri coach Ruben Amorim.
Cisse can cover exactly the same roles in Mancini’s 4-2-3-1 system even though the best position for him appears to be in attacking midfield.
“That’s what my movement is like, even if I’ve played as an attacking midfielder in the past,” he said after his hat-trick against Salzburg.
“I’ve also played as a striker with the national team. These are games that I will carry with me for a long time. I’m really happy with the goals.”
Cisse spent the previous season on loan at Catanzaro, playing under ex-Milan coach Ignazio Abate, now the Torino coach.
Cisse shared the pitch with other Italian talents, such Mattia Liberali, who joined Como last summer, and Alessio Cacciamani, who returned to Torino.
“If you put Cisse on the pitch, he’s going to play. Doesn’t matter if he’s with the national team, with Bastoni or with these guys,” Amorim recently said.
“He’s going to play, free. For that, he’s ready. But he needs time to grow up. I saw a bit of a difference when he plays away and when he plays at San Siro. San Siro is tough, so he needs to adjust to all these small things. Let’s give time to Cisse. If you put Cisse in training with the national team and playing with the national team, he won’t be shy, and he’s going to have the ball. So he’s ready, but he needs time to be the player he can be. He has a lot to learn.”
