The trip to Portugal, on the eve of the match against Poland, was the right opportunity to Rafael Leao to talk, explain his feelings and return to the last difficult period with the shirt of Milan.
“These things happen. I have nothing against the coach. It’s a resolved issue. I don’t like being on the bench, I always like to help the team. The coach has to make the decisions. Both in the national team and at Milan, I I always try to give my best to help my team”, his thoughts on the relationship and choices of coach Paulo Fonseca who in recent weeks has often relegated him to the bench.
Leao’s thoughts then continue, always with his Milan in mind: “I always think ahead. I’m happy with what I did in the last 2 games. I don’t think about the previous games, I think about the next one and now the ones here in the national team. Overall it’s going well, it certainly could go much better because I want to do great things with Milan and with the national team. Regardless of whether I play well or badly, I really like being at Milan. I don’t think the national team is an escape route things aren’t going well, people will criticize. I’ve been at Milan for five years and I’ve gotten used to that pressure.”
