The former defender of Milan, Alessandro Costacurtaspoke from the studios of Sky Sports of the Rossoneri striker Rafael Leao. The Portuguese is expected to make a change of gear after a start to the season in which he alternated good things with moments of pause.
Here is his assessment: “We always hope that he makes that leap in quality. Getting him to show your qualities for 18 seconds is not enough. He has to do it for several minutes, let’s remember that he is born in ’99. He is emerging from adolescence football. What would I tell him? You need examples, which can be people who don’t play with you.”
And speaking of examples, the Rossoneri club also brought someone from the transfer market, according to Costacurta, such as Alvaro Morata: “For example, Messi and Ronaldo stimulated each other. He speaks well of Vinicius and Mbappé, but he hasn’t still assimilated the consistency of those players. So I think that Morata’s presence has become fundamental. That’s what Pavlovic doesn’t have hope: someone who sets an example to go the extra mile, to improve behavior.”
