Rafael Leao this season has been showing more quality. Although there is ample room for improvement, it is clear that the Portuguese winger is working hard to prove his worth and earn his spot within the group.
The player is now a starter for Stefano Pioli because he brings pace, dribbling and the ability to create chaos in the defensive areas of the opponents.
Continuity is key for Leao who needs to continue working this way and be always concentrated. The mentality is half the success if the Portuguese wants to become one of the best players in Serie A and Europe in the future.
As pointed out by Calciomercato.com, Paolo Maldini was the one who placed his faith and trust in Leao. In fact, the club's technical director 'fell in love' with the player in Lille and tried with all his effort to bring him to Milanello.
While many were convinced that Rafael Leao should be sold in the last summer due to the lack of continuity that the player showed, Maldini kept his faith in the player. Now, the Milanese director is proven right as the former Lille forward repays him with great quality displays.
As the source mentions, technical continuity is one of the features that Leao is enjoying now. The player seems to now have improved a little in terms of physique as he 'acquired a control of his own body that he did not have before.'
Rafael Leao also showed mental maturity and one does not see him looking like he is lost anymore, writes calciomercato.com. However, the toughest test awaits the talented 22-year-old. He must confirm the good performances and repeat them every match which is what makes the difference between a good player and a very good player.
