Last season Kevin Prince Boateng had been a certainty for AC Milan. Having won a place in the starting line up he had become one of the protagonists of AC Milan’s  18th scudetto.
However in this season the Ghanaian has become a real puzzle. Not a problem, because Max Allegri still thinks of him as one of the cornerstones of the team, but a question mark, yes. In the sense that, from week to week, you never know what Boateng could have (or if he is available).
Boateng began the season on a high with a good game in the Italian Super Cup won against Inter in Beijing. Then the league began and some of the team including Boateng is unwell). When returned, there was the small incident with regard to his alleged early hours. Allegri good-naturedly pulled him back into line and the player responded with a record hat-trick in the comeback victory of AC Milan at Lecce.
