Last season Kevinà Princeà Boatengà hadà been aà certaintyà forà ACà Milan.à Havingà wonà aà placeà in theà startingà line up he hadà becomeà oneà of theà protagonistsà ofà ACà Milanââ¬â¢sà à 18thà scudetto.
Howeverà in this season theà Ghanaianà hasà becomeà aà realà puzzle. Not aà problem,à becauseà Max Allegri stillà thinksà of himà asà oneà of theà cornerstonesà of the team,à butà aà questionà mark,à yes.
In theà senseà that, fromà weekà toà week, youneverà knowà whatà Boatengà couldà haveà (orà ifà he isà available).
Boatengà beganà the season on a highà withà aà goodà game in theà Italianà Superà Cupà wonà againstà Inter inà Beijing.
Then theà leagueà beganà and some of the teamà includingà Boatengà isà unwell).à Whenà returned,à thereà wasà theà smallà incidentwithà regardà to hisà allegedà earlyà hours.
Allegrià good-naturedlyà pulledà himà backà intoà line and theà playerà respondedwithà a recordà hat-trickà in theà comebackà victoryà ofà ACà Milanà atà Lecce.
Theà darkà periodà seemsà toà haveà passed; theà formerà Portsmouthà playerà seemsà content.à Butà after aà fewà hoursBoatengà isà backà on theà rollerà coaster: from the topà down.
In Rome, heà getsà aà redà cardà (the second this season) on theà bench:à accordingà to the refereeà Damato, the Rossoneroà insultedà theà assistantà Maggiani,à whileà Princeà claimsheà wasà annoyedà withà Burdisso.
And toà makeà mattersà worseà heà alsoà knocksà his fibulaà puttingà his presence intomorrow'sà matchà withà BATEà Borisovà in theà Championsà Leagueà atà risk.
So, a season ofà swingsà andà roundaboutsà for Kevinà Princeà Boateng.
Fromà nowà on Milanà willà needà himà to be moreconsistent,à bothà inà attendanceà on theà fieldà and in performance.
Becauseà he is stillà criticalà for Allegri.
