New Hertha Berlin signing Krzysztof Piatek insists Milan “change centre-forward every single year, so it’s probably a habit over there.”
The striker lasted just one year in the Rossoneri jersey, as after his move from Genoa, he struggled to score goals and was sold to Hertha Berlin.
He had been dropped to the bench once Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrived in January and told German newspaper Bild this was not uncommon.

There does seem to be a ‘curse’ of the Number 9 jersey, with a succession of flops who followed the retirement of Pippo Inzaghi in 2012.
The Number 9 shirt holders included Gonzalo Higuain, Andre Silva, Gianluca Lapadula, Luiz Adriano, Fernando Torres, Mattia Destro, Alessandro Matri and Alexandre Pato.
