AC Milan faced Chievo Verona on Saturday in Serie A, with Kevin-Prince Boateng ruled out due to a muscular issue. However, coach Massimiliano Allegri could rely on the presence of Mario Balotelli. The Italian-Ghanaian striker has been in impressive form since his return to Italy, scoring 7 goals in 6 Serie A appearances for AC Milan.
Allegri sees similarities between Balotelli and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, both physically and technically. However, the coach believes that Balotelli has the potential to become even better, especially with consistent playing time at AC Milan. Allegri expressed confidence in Balotelli’s ability to succeed and emphasized the player’s room for improvement given his talent.
