The words of Alphadjo Cissé after Milan’s first official game of the season perfectly capture the moment he is experiencing: "This is a unique emotion for me. I never would have imagined, not even in my dreams, that I would make my debut for Milan and score."
The end of last season was not easy for the young Italian talent. Shortly after being signed by the Rossoneri, who sent him out on loan to Catanzaro, he suffered a serious injury, a ruptured tendon in his right adductor, and was sidelined for several months. Now, the worst is behind him, and Cissé can look to the future with confidence, even more so after scoring against Torino yesterday.
Cissé's dream debut with Milan
The Italian newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' reported this morning on some interesting details surrounding his goal. Since the days of Patrick Cutrone, Alphadjo has been the youngest Milan player to score. In addition, before him, the last Italian to score on his Milan debut had been Daniel Maldini.
Yesterday was not Cissé’s Serie A debut, as he had already played 14 minutes for Hellas Verona, but his first official match in the Rossoneri shirt could hardly have gone better: a goal, plenty of impressive touches and a victory. He is the face of Milan after the opening round of the league season.
