The prince is looking for a house. Almost definitive because Boateng has had many opportunities over the years, giving a little talent but often also indolence. Because the Prince who made Milan fall in love has changed so many destinations, remaining now as a great expert called to distill play and fantasy.
He now plays in Hertha Berlin, but he certainly has many regrets for a career that could have been even better. There was talent, class and disruptive power seen in few, but continuity was never his strong point. Perhaps feeling already arrived, perhaps a tactical problem or exaggerated gossip, but for the Prince the opportunities have become increasingly rare to do well.
He has returned to Germany after his previous adventures, well aware of how Hertha Berlin are building a collection of players who have already given their best in the past. Let's think of Sami Khedira, who lasted in the first part of 2021, as well as Stevan Jovetic now in the squad, one of the few to have scored in the five major European championships. Saving oneself in the Bundesliga is the minimum wage.
Kevin Prince Boateng's career has been studded with great days and long breaks. Upon his arrival in Italy, few believed in his success. Genoa took him from Portsmouth and gave the co-ownership to Milan. At first he seemed to be just a replacement, but he immediately proved to be an important latch. he became the Rossoneri's tactical unpredictability, the man who created superiority and thus gave a hand to the attack.
It is no coincidence that the 2010-11 season was probably the best of his career, and after all he was also among the best in that league. Distilled class, a scudetto and the final dance in the Milanese party at San Siro. Too much giving himself to the show returned later, while his football following found two days of glory. One in the Champions League with a saving double, the other in an early midday in Lecce. AC Milan, three goals down, entered the Prince on the field ... in name and in fact. Three goals, three broadsides from outside the box, something unpredictable.
His career then had various ups and downs. In Italy he returned twice, first to Sassuolo and seemed to be able to last, but he was even called by Barcelona and goodbye Emilia. Last year, however, he did very little at Monza, together with Mario Balotelli they had to arrive in Serie A instead they were eliminated in the playoffs by people who took a tenth of their salary.
