�With the players we have, we can create many scoring opportunities.
�We started very well and then lost intensity, partly due to pressure by Zenit, but at the end of the day we didn�t lose our shape and won,” he concluded.
El-Shaarawy joined AC Milan in 2011 from Serie A outfit Genoa and has scored six goals in 28 appearances so far.
The 19-year-old, who has said he would prefer to play for Italy rather than Egypt, had been chased by Juventus and Inter Milan but chose to join Italian champions AC Milan.
El-Shaarawy has a contract with the Rossoneri until 2017.
