Against Bologna, AC Milan's coach Stefano Pioli used Rafael Leao in the starting lineup to replace Hakan Calhanoglu. He did very well in that role. Now, the hope is that he would keep up the energy level and performances to do the same again against Crotone today in order to help Ibrahimovic find the net.
As pointed out by Corriere dello Sport, Ibrahimovic, who complained about too much loneliness in attack in recent weeks, has found a good shoulder to support him: Rafael Leao.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic likes the young Portuguese, who will work for him again today. The Swede wants to overcome the difficult period, bring AC Milan back in the lead of the league ranking and score his goal number 500.
