Today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals how Rafael Leao has become one of the best players at AC Milan right now. Credit is to Stefano Pioli who managed to unleash the player's potential.
The Portuguese winger has shown continuity, quality and strength. The newspaper write that when a player tries such an overhead kick against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, then it means that he is confident and aware of his abilities and skills.
At Casa Milan, the management is happy with the progress that Leao is making. Now, Pioli is certain that his role is the left winger only. His profile suits that position really well. But, he must improve more on the final decision which is the finishing touch in front of the goal.
Gazzetta write that in Serie A, only Felipe Anderson of Lazio has dribbled as much as Leao (17). But, the Portuguese is first for successful tackles (32) and intercepted balls (12).
In the summer, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara took him off the transfer list becuase they believed in what he has to offer and that he has room for improvement. So far, the club management sees the 32 million euros fee spent into signing this talented forward is a success and a good investment for the present and future.
