All Milan fans should be excited for this upcoming season with Stephen El Shaarawy and Mario Balotelli as starting forwards side-by-side for the whole season. Two very exciting players that can make a huge difference in Milan’s race for the Scudetto this season.
The two young forwards have spent a lot of time together since the Serie A season ended, as they both competed with the Italian National Team in the Confederations Cup in June before Balotelli left to a thigh injury. With spending more time together they will certainly develop more chemistry and build on what they started last time season.
Many close to the club note how in training they like to joke and play around, and I can only assume most have seen some of the pictures of them in training doing tricks with the ball. The more chemistry they develop before the first whistle to usher in the new season, the better, and it will almost assuredly extend to their teammates. Developing chemistry through better communication on the field are crucial factors in any successful attack.
These 2 players are young stars, with El Shaarawy turning 21 in October and Balotelli turning 23 in August. They are only going to continue to get better because they have not even hit their “peak” years yet. If they continue to produce goals for Milan it will give them more confidence to score and to help Milan in the upcoming years.
Milan’s success will be based on Balotelli and El Shaarawy personal success as well as their ability to feed off each other, as they are the nucleus of the attack moving forward.
