Rafa Leao flops again. In the Champions League against Club Brugge another colorless performance from the Portuguese, who was called upon to redeem himself after a start to the season below expectations. And naturally the debate on its future begins again. What should Milan do? Here’s what the TMW Radio commentators think.
Marco Piccari: “If Maignan hadn’t been there, I don’t know what match it would have been. Milan won a dutiful match, but there are still things that need to be reviewed. To me it seems like a team that is still in confusion, that doesn’t have much logic. Leao it’s a separate chapter. Di Canio said it well, you can’t give a six for a few shots. Even yesterday Leao was replaced, he looked at the coach from afar and then shook his head at the end of the match he left immediately. These are attitudes that are tiring, but this is how Milan will decide whether he will become a man or not.
Stefano Impallomeni: “This thing is a bit boring, yesterday it gnawed at you. He feels stronger than he is showing. He can become very strong, perhaps he already feels that way but the problem is in his head.”
Mimmo Cousins: “Aside from his behavior, which is very criticisable, I think that Milan should have either built the team on Leao, which they didn’t do, or sold him and Theo Hernandez to carry out an operation to get Osimhen.”
Fabio Ravezzani: “I believe he is a listless player. Yesterday Milan conceded a goal because Leao was 40 meters away. And at that point the coach took him away. but he has been like this for three years now, with the tendency to the worsening. We need to take note of it, put up with it and maybe sell it next year.”
Daniele Garbo: “He’s a half player, let’s not expect more than what we’re seeing. Now selling him is a problem, because the value has dropped and the salary is high.”
Stefano Borghi: “It’s true that now, partly through his fault, an environment has been created that points the finger at him for every little thing. Sometimes he pays for faults that aren’t his, but yesterday he came off in the 60th minute and Milan immediately became more quick, comes back and wins. Even the image of him immediately going to the locker room at the end of the match is not a good one. We’re talking about an evening too It went badly, but if Leao does it like this we’re talking about a game worth throwing away. In terms of talent, he could be someone like them but he’s not, that’s the thing.”
