< ![CDATA[MILAN – Stephan El Shaarawy is currently away on international duty with Italy. This is what the Milan forward had to say ahead of the azzurri’s matches with Holland and Norway: "After all I’ve been through in these past months, I return to the National Team with a great desire and a lot more mature. It was a hard time for me, but I’m finally better."El Shaarawy continued: "Conte and Inzaghi are very similar and they have already both given me a lot. They’re brilliant motivators, they charge you up and I’ve got on well with both of them. I feel a lot of confidence and I hope to repay them. They take a lot of care of the mental aspect in addition to the technical aspect. They can both do well and they’re able to win over the players.”Speaking more about Inzaghi: “With the coach there was a great feeling straight away. On our behalf, there will be a great spirit of sacrifice and we will give everything for him. Balotelli? I hope he has made the right choice. I wish him the best of luck. His absence from the squad? Conte was clear with everyone, no one should feel excluded or certain of their place. The coach has made his choices and we have to respect them. As with regards to the formation, I have given the coach my availability and I will play where he wants."]]>
