Former Sporting Lisbon head coach Tiago Fernandes has granted an exclusive interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport, where he has adviced AC Milan to keep club’s winger Rafael Leao. Here are his statements:
“Milan must not deprive themselves of him, they have a potential champion in their hands. I haven’t seen someone like Leao since. I trained him for the first time at the age of 12: he was shy, his head down, he lived in a boarding school and spoke little. When he went to school he took the ball to class. For a while I also hosted him at home with my family.
