The curse I'm leaving Milan's attackers alone: From Patto to Higuini

However, the nine-to-back fanella has been the curse of all the attackers who followed the Italian on top of Milan's offensive. By the summer of 2012, Inzagi was in the field and regularly scored despite his age. From that year until now, anyone who wears the fanella with the 9th number on his back failed to maintain a goal performance. A series of eight heirs who were never able to take the weight of this number and move the team forward with their goals.

The poverty of Higuiin é, in fact, most of the attackers who were approached by the summer of 2012 have not resisted more than one season in Milan and have left. This summer in Milan they breathed freely, Gonzalo Higuiin was supposed to be the bomber to provide the goal, and Elliot's project was the basis for rising above the Argentinean, but he also came up with a “soap bubble”.

“Pipita” is packing bags for London, but it's only going to need a hand bag to send his goals, only 8 of them in 22 matches with Milan, are too few for an attacker like him. This was the worst silverinian season since it debuted with Real Madrid and scored 9 goals in 34 matches, but at the time it was a 20-year talent expected to be confirmed. While his best season is in the era of Sarri at Naples (38 goals in 2015-16).

Every evening in Milanello looks like a farewell evening for Higuii, every day at the training center may be the last, but Milan continues to deny these facts and claim that the regular farewell dinner is being trained normally.

The number and curse of 9 the post-era Inzaghi striker bear also names of <x0-terranean <x0x1> such as Fernando Torres, who was World Champion of twice the Europe champion with Spain, was even <x2...) oil and vinegar” with elite football, but in Milan failed to give something of value.

However, the real alarm begins from the time of Alexandro Patto. Brazil was the first in a series of attackers caught up with Milan. Patto had created a great name, but his form came ever on the decline, so that in his last season, he left with only two marked goals.

After him, three others failed. Alessandro Matri and Torres capture the misery of the note by one goal alone, it's better to leave Mattia Destro with three realisations, but none of these managed to complete an entire season. Then Luis Adriano had great hope of a Brazilian who had been fine with Shakhtar Donestk, but finally he joined the list of failures with 6 marked goals and left for China, returned to Milan and then went to Russia.

In the balance, of course the best circulation in relation to the attackers' list is that of Gianluca Laplandula, who scored 8 goals in the 2016-17 season and then left the country to Andre Silva. Portuguese will close Milan's single year with 10 goals, but unlike Laplandula to that weight they have goals in Europe League.

Milan's story has known 13th numbers that have succeeded, from Weah, to Patrick Kluivert, Inzagi, or even Gianni Comandini. But there are also eight attackers who have failed in 7 years with the red flag and the 9th on their back. The future is called Kresztoff Piatek, a young Polish, talented, for more of a goal machine. The figures speak for themselves (19 goals in 21 matches with Genoan), but remain to be seen on which list the 23-year-old will enter, on the list of bigs or losers in number 9.
