Stephan El Shaarawy has admitted that he always feels emotional when he goes back to play at San Siro, after his ‘dream’ spell at AC Milan.
El Shaarawy began his career at Genoa and he was signed by Milan in 2011, really breaking out in the 2012–13 season and becoming one of the most important players among the Rossoneri ranks.
In 2015–16 he went to Monaco and then spent three years at Roma, signing for Chinese club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, before making a return to Roma 18 months later.
The 32-year-old has made well over 100 appearances in his second spell with the Giallorossi and while it might have been over eight years since he left Milan, he remains very well thought of by the fans. His potential return has even been rumoured.
El Shaarawy gave an interview to Sportmediaset and among the topics discussed, he was asked about what it was like to play against Milan ten days ago in the Coppa Italia, with his comments relayed by MilanPress.
“I think it’s impossible not to get emotional when you enter that stadium. I realised my dream of playing with that shirt [Milan], of scoring my first goal in Serie A, of playing with my idol Kakà… it’s always a great emotion to return there,” he said.
They played politics with this guy’s career. He was banging goals left, right, and center. Then they chose Balotelli over him. Some stupid rumors came out after he refused a massive January transfer to a Russian club or Man City for 7x his wages.
I still love him as a player. He had an incredible work rate for a left winger.
This.. Should have been here his whole career. Yet another italian let down by milan the past decade
Infact he’s even more consistent than than leao
Was another Obvious offside of Lukaku vs. 2:1 vs. Lazio
Even Lukaku stays in offside in the small box, but passes was an evident
This is ridiculous ..
Too weak and inconsistent like Chuk. Simply doesn’t have enough dominance or belief in himself.
You sure?! He single handedly carried the whole team just out of his teenage years after the legends retired/departed until he got burnt out.
If Chuk has half of his achievements, no one will be complaining about him.
