Thursday, December 27, 2012. AC Milan footballer Stephan El Shaarawy refuses to cut his hair, notwithstanding the fact that Silvio Berlusconi – the team's owner – allegedly asked him to do so.

Nicknamed
Il Faraone (The Pharaoh), Stephan El Shaarawy is an Italian
footballer of Egyptian descent playing for AC Milan, known for the
ability of scoring goals, as well as for his weird hairstyle, which –
apparently – is annoying the club's owner and current president,
Silvio Berlusconi.
All
this according to the site Al Arabiya News,
which – in turn – quoted a local Italian newspaper as source of
the news.
El
Sharaawy – who is currently Italy top of the league Serie A's best scorer, with 14
goals – is AC Milan's “new Ibra”, according to Barbara Berlusconi, daughter of the team owner, member of the club's Board
of directors and girlfriend of the fallen-from-grace striker Pato, meaning that the 22-year-old striker is as talented as
the Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimović is, who was sold by AC Milan to the
French PSG last year.
Other
stories emerged, as the former prime minister already ask defender
Philippe Mexès and midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng to change their "disturbing" hairstyles. To some extent, they agreed to lower their cockscomb,
whilst the Italo-Egyptian forward apparently dug in his heels.

The
Italian newspaper (La Provincia di Varese) cited an
hairdresser (Sebastian Muscillo) who used to work for AC Milan as
well as Turin's Juventus FC, saying that the former Italian prime
minister tried to force El Shaarawy to cut his hair.
The
request of Silvio Berlusconi was first addressed to the young talent
(whose father is Egyptian, while his mother is Italian) when he first
signed the contract with AC Milan, as the president told him not to
get rid of the “exotic” hairdo as soon as possible.
Silvio
Berlusconi seems to be quite allergic to hairdos and combing stuff,
for some reasons...
