Alphadjo Cisse is the star of AC Milan’s start to the season, with two goals in his first three appearances already. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) report, in just a few weeks Cisse’s life ‘has changed completely’. During the summer window a loan exit seemed likely, so he could find a club to play at regularly and to continue his development. Read SempreMilan ad-free and get access to exclusive news.

With two goals against Torino and Juventus in the first three rounds. A ‘devastating impact’ The paper adds that Cisse has ‘had a devastating impact’ on Serie A and on the world of Milan. The Italian attacking midfielder – signed in January from Catanzaro, where he remained on loan until the end of the season – will only turn 20 on October 22nd. Despite this, on the pitch he’s displaying personality and character that’s certainly not typical for players his age. Amorim is ‘crazy about him’ and hasn’t hidden it, but he preaches calm and patience because Cisse is still very young and must understand that he hasn’t achieved anything yet. On the contrary, he must continue to work, grow, improve and mature, but the early signs are good. After the match against Juventus, the Portuguese coach was very clear in his words to DAZN about where he sees the teenager at. “I’m really happy for all the players, but I want to be cautious with our young players, because nowadays in football there’s a tendency to over-promote players too soon. We mustn’t forget that he’s a young player at the beginning of his career. I think he needs to continue training very well. “Obviously, I’m really happy for Cisse, because everyone likes to see a young player do well, especially an Italian player. So it’s a great moment, but again, I look at Cisse and I think he can do much better. The same goes for the other players. “I said I love Cisse, but I love all my players and I’m really happy with all the training sessions and all the games they’ve played. Today wasn’t the perfect day, but sometimes we expect too much, and I expect a lot from our players.”
