The player completed the last-minute goal, and this is the focus of the competition. It also shows that our youth training has been very successful." Strasser's sudden rise to fame recalls another one-hit wonder, Paroschi, who under Ancelotti performed a miraculous substitute appearance where he scored the winning goal within 18 seconds. However, in 2008 Paroschi transferred to Parma, and now has moved to Genoa, with hopes of returning to San Siro to truly take over from Inzaghi. Half of Strasser's ownership rights have already been sold to Genoa, and it is very possible that the young Sierra Leone player may follow in Paroschi's footsteps. Born in 1990, Strasser is also hailed as Gattuso's successor, and is believed to be able to secure a place in Milan's midfield. Now, the "Roma Sport" reveals that Galliani has brought Allegri a belated Christmas gift - Lazari will join the Rossoneri. Allegri's favored player will directly reduce Seedorf's playing time, and compete with Boateng for the attacking midfielder position. At that point, with the midfield overcrowded, someone will have to leave. Although Seedorf is thought to possibly be forced out, Strasser's future does not look optimistic either, a situation similar to Paroschi's predicament at the time. Last summer, in order to acquire Papastathopoulos, AC Milan exchanged the co-ownership rights of three young players, Zigini, Odoyamadi, and Strasser, to Genoa. Genoa president Preziosi had a particular fondness for Strasser: "This is a good deal. A player like Strasser can mature and become a regular starter in two or three years."
Half a year has passed, and Papastathopoulos' position in Milan's defense is even less than veteran Yepes', while Strasser has emerged unexpectedly, scoring his first goal and ultimately earning Allegri's favor. Whether this brilliant performance can change Strasser's fate remains unknown, because Galliani had already sold half of this young player's ownership rights to Genoa in the summer transfer window, and agreed that the young Sierra Leone player would play for Genoa for half a year.
Whether AC Milan can retain this rare talent from their youth training system will be decided in the next few days, and the newly minted "one-goal star" Strasser might indeed be sent to Genoa.
Strasser happily expressed after his goal, "I am always ready to play for AC Milan. I am very happy at Milan, and I don't know what the future holds." Clearly, he hopes to stay at San Siro to continue proving himself. Although he has already integrated well into the team, the "new Vieira" may not be able to decide his own fate.
