However, in addressing the media today in preview of Euro 2016 qualifying with Croatia next week, the CT thinks that the Pharaoh still needs to make an extra effort to fulfil his potential.
“We’re almost into the thick of the League, so I expect players to raise their level in their performances,” Conte told reporters in Milan today.
“El Shaarawy has great potential, he is young and he is going through the phase of becoming a footballer.
“It’s up to him to either become a normal football player or a great football player.
“I think that he’s got every quality needed in order to leave his mark both in Italy and abroad. I am relying on him and so does my friend Pippo Inzaghi”.
