Another negative performance for Rafael Leao. The Milan striker didn’t shine in Turin against Juventus either. “In such an emergency – analyzes the Gazzetta dello Sport – he had to be the lighthouse and drag. Nothing. Gabbia even grooms him because he doesn’t help. He carries the armband of Baresi and Maldini”. “Weah uproots the first ball from his feet – reports Tuttosport – he loses the second by stumbling on his own: the Rossoneri captain’s match was born crooked and never straightened out”.
“He divides as usual – writes the Corriere dello Sport -. Not even the captain’s armband revives the Portuguese, almost irritating until half-time. He is a halfway player. His potential is enormous as his breaks are gigantic. He plays (or doesn’t play) a game of his own. In the last half hour, at least he puts in a bit of generosity, we see Da Leao going back and defending However, we expect more.” This is what TMW underlines: “Captain for the occasion, he spends himself in the defensive retreats with unsuspected self-sacrifice but is unable to make a difference up front: not reaching Szczesny’s side”.
