The Italian newspaper 'Quotidiano Sportivo' ran the following headline this morning:
"Baby Cisse is Milan's new leader."
The young Italian attacking midfielder, who has scored twice in the first three league games, is undoubtedly the Rossoneri's biggest surprise of the start of the season. Now Italy head coach Roberto Mancini is also keeping a close eye on him, so much so that Leonardo Bonucci, a technical staff member of the Italian national team, was in the stands on Sunday for Juventus-Milan to watch him at close quarters.
After the match against the Bianconeri, Ruben Amorim spoke about the possibility of Cisse being called up to the senior Italy squad: "It depends on the national team's head coach and his ideas. It is not my decision. I don't have an opinion on that. What I think when I watch Cisse is that he has a lot of quality, but he needs time. There are certain things Cisse is not ready for at certain moments. He is working on that. Today was really important for him. He is developing very quickly, but we shouldn't put this pressure on the boy. He needs time to develop and he also needs time to improve many things. People only look at the goals. I look at many things that he needs to improve to become a top player. And to play for your national team, you have to be really strong. So let's give Cisse time to develop."
