AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri admitted he DROPPED Stephan El Shaarawy for their draw with Napoli.

Despite Mario Balotelli's suspension, Allegri went without the Little Pharoah.

"Nobody can play an entire season at the top level," argued the Coach. "In the last few rounds he had dipped in psychological terms.

"He is only 20 years old and has already scored many goals, which is precisely why he needs to be dealt with in the best way possible. Those who replaced him did very well tonight. Robinho played a good game and can be of great use to us for the rest of the season, as he is a champion.

"We can improve, as tonight we were missing sharpness, but this season have done so well to complete a great comeback."
