Kevin-Prince Boateng is confident that Milan will win the Scudetto again and are favourites against Arsenal.They don’t call him Big-Bang Boateng for nothing: the Milan  midfielder has turned from one, rather-cheap, option in midfield, to one of the main keys in Massimiliano Allegri’s  tactics over the past two seasons. Boateng has made a leap in quality this season and has answered his  many critics on the playing ground and the 24-year-old  is very much certain that Milan will beat the competition for the Serie A title again.

Before you were just one of many, but you’ve become a phenomenon that is imitated…
The Michael Jackson Moonwalk at the party made me more popular. The impact Milan have on the world is very strong, so there are kids who have the same haircut and wear the No. 27 jersey. It’s fantastic.

 Boateng, Ibrahimovic & Cassano: someone would say Milan is a team of bad boys.

Milan need leaders with strong character like Ibra, Robinho and Pato. And I’m happy to be like them.
 You have a common past of getting in trouble. In the words of Ibrahimovic.

Zlatan, Robinho, Cassano and I, we come from the street, and so we get on with each other. We know how hard it is to get to certain levels and we also know how easy it is to lose your balance. It is normal to go out of your mind when you are in the world of football.

Did you ever lose your balance?

When I was at Tottenham. But luckily I found myself in a hurry. I found myself suddenly in the world of fame. But now I have more experience and I can more easily maintain the balance.

 Silvio Berlusconi believes you have better chances than Juventus of winning the Scudetto.
Juventus have been playing the better football but I think we will the Scudetto.

 Berlusconi wants you in midfield with Seedorf.

I’m glad that he’s not our coach, I am a trequartista and I won’t move. It’s nice to know that he is interested in us, we see that he is passionate. Fortunately he has other, more important things, to think about.

Tevez is a bad boy. So he’ll be perfect for Milan.

Carlitos has a story similar to mine, Ibra and Cassano’s and this made him the player he is. Tevez is bad, always wants to win. He runs and plays with heart. He’s perfect for Milan.

 You’ve already won the league. It’s time for the Champions League?

I want to win the Scudetto again this year because it’s more difficult in Europe and also I feel good. We will have problems with Arsenal. We have more experience; we can win home and away.

How many goals would you like to score this season?

I would say fifteen in all competitions. I think I can do.

 And when will your friend Pato learn how to dance?

“Never. He’s terrible, unwatchable. Good thing he plays football otherwise I do not know what else he could do in life. He can’t dance nor sing. I’ve never seen a Brazilian without rhythm before.”
