After scoring against Torino and Juventus, Alphadjo Cisse heads to the Olimpico with a special opportunity. If he scores against Lazio too, he could become only the third Milan player in the three-points-for-a-win era to score in each of his first three Serie A away games. It is a statistic that already illustrates how quickly the young Rossoneri player has taken centre stage.
Like Ganz and Piatek
Before him, only Maurizio Ganz, between January and February 1998, and Krzysztof Piatek, between February and March 2019, have achieved the feat. Both were forwards who arrived at Milan and immediately made their mark away from San Siro. Cisse could join the same list.
Another away milestone for Cisse
And fittingly, his next test comes at the Olimpico, against a Lazio side that have won their first three matches of the season. On Saturday at 6pm, Milan will be looking for a crucial victory, but Cisse will also have a small record to chase. Three away games, three goals: a small piece of history is just 90 minutes away.
