Alphadjo Cisse had the best night of his career, scoring three of the four goals as Milan beat Salzburg in Austria in the Europa League. The young striker expressed great satisfaction with the performance, calling it a moment that he will carry with him for the rest of the season.
Milan, led by new coach Amorim, showed a dynamic attacking game. Cisse asked if he is considered a starter and replied that he doesn't have a fixed role, but puts his best effort into any position, whether as a number 9 or as an attacking midfielder. He also underlined the importance of young Italians, stating that there are many talented ones and that the manager's trust is fundamental for their development.
Cisse's goal was accompanied by an assist from Bartesaghi, while his teammate Camarda had an opportunity but was unable to materialize it. Cisse declared that he is the youngest Italian to score a hat-trick in European competition, a record that makes him proud but which he considers only a detail compared to his personal growth.
Amorim praised Cisse, declaring “I love Cisse”, and the player responded with a smile, stating that he had a good relationship with the coach and felt motivated. Cisse closed the interview by focusing on the future of Milan, leaving aside any reference to a possible call up to the national team, and reiterated that his main objective is to continue to contribute to the club's success.
