A window of optimism has opened on the world of Milanthanks to the derby won on Sunday night against their cousins from Inter, a single match capable of overturning the fortunes of a slow start and showing the Rossoneri team, and its new leader on the bench Paulo Fonseca, in a different light. Tomorrow night the Devils will officially open the 6th round of Serie A, with the challenge against Lecce. A match that represents an opportunity, because with a win Milan would arrive on Saturday as the league leaders, going on to catch up with Torino at 11 points.
A good opportunity to spice up the weekend even more of the top Italian league and to show with facts how certain catastrophic evaluations thought for Milan after the very first outings of the season. And in particular for Fonseca himself to push back even further the many criticisms that have been raised up to now about him. The Portuguese can also appeal to the precedent factor, specifically especially for a protagonist over the others.
We are referring to Rafael Leaoone of the very few notes not really in tune (perhaps the only one that was really in tune to the end) of the Rossoneri symphony during the derby win. The Portuguese striker has in Lecce his favorite victim par excellence. Leao has scored 5 goals against Lecce in his career, the last of which in the 3-0 of Via del Mare last April, the last precedent between the two teams. Even in the San Siro match of the 2022/23 season he had shown a great repertoire against the Salento team, defeated 2-0 thanks to a brace of his. The world of Milan in the last week has changed and not by a little, to seem like a real revolution compared to the beginning of the year you also need Leao.
