Ambrosini praises Cissé. The words of the former Milan midfielder about the current Italian striker surprise in the first Serie A match

During the Cronache di Spogliatoio podcast, former Milan midfielder and captain Massimo Ambrosini dedicated a segment to Alphadjo Cissé, a young Rossoneri talent who attracted attention during the pre‑season. The former captain highlighted some physical and technical characteristics of the 2006‑born player, finding a curious resemblance to Robinho, who was a Milan star between 2010 and 2014.

Ambrosini also recounted a background story involving Alberto Aquilani, who last season coached Cissé at Catanzaro, emphasizing the consideration the coach had already formed towards the young talent.

The comparison between Cissé and Robinho, "Physically he reminds me of Robinho, I really like looking at a player’s posture and shape. He has very open feet and this way of striking that reminds me of Robinho, who was great. He also has the same shirt number. Last year Cissé played at Catanzaro and was coached by my friend Alberto Aquilani, and he spoke to me many times about this player, telling me he was great.."

Ambrosini then recalled Robinho and Antonio Cassano, focusing on their technical qualities and the characteristics that made them particularly spectacular to watch.

The memory of former Milan champions, "From a technical point of view Robinho was great, he ran a lot and had an incredible quality. He was good at striking and reaching the goal. Cassano was another incredible technically, crazy".

The comparison with Robinho represents an important sign of esteem for Cissé, especially considering the technical level recognized by the former Rossoneri captain in the Brazilian. The young talent will now have to confirm on the field the qualities that convinced Ambrosini and attracted the attention of the Milan staff.
