Behrami: “Leao is not a champion right now, let’s stop treating him like one”

During his speech on “Serie A Show” broadcast on DAZNthe former Lazio and Genoa midfielder Valon Behrami criticized Milan striker Rafael Leao: “We also need to define the champions. For me Leao isn’t one at the moment. He had a great season, where we all discovered him, he won the scudetto, but from then on he didn’t I can’t call him a champion. Because I can never see a player who manages to take center stage for multiple games in a row, we know how good he is, at the European Championship

Now in the national team, in this Nations League, he finds decidedly more open teams, we know that tactically the national teams are not as ready as perhaps the clubs, and from this point of view we must perhaps stop treating Leao like a champion. If he goes to the bench he goes to the bench, that’s it.”
