Ahead of facing Porto away from home, AC Milan's star winger, Rafael Leao accompanied coach Stefano Pioli in the press conference and had the following words to say:
"I think the thing I missed was continuity. Today I am more continuous thanks to my teammates and my coach. I want to grow and I will try to do it every day at Milanello with the team."
Playing against Porto will feel like a derby for you...
"Facing Porto is always difficult. They are difficult to play against but tomorrow, for me and my teammates it will be like a final, we want to win and score points to move forward. We want to play with the right mindset because Porto are a good team. They have quality and the coach knows Italian football. We expect a good challenge."
On this group:
"We want to go far. We are a young team but with the right mentality. There are experienced players and tomorrow we can show what we know we can do."
On Serie A football:
"Serie A is a difficult league. When I arrived here I felt a big difference from Ligue 1 in France. I have been watcing the Champions League since I was a child, listening to the music. I want to take advantage of this opportunity and win tomorrow."
Leao discusses the change in his performances since last season:
"I feel the confidence of my teammates, the coach and the management. This year I feel a lot of confidence and I have the right mentality, I know that I can make a difference in every moment of the match and I know that I can dribble the opponent and assist my teammates or score a goal. Everyone's trust has given me a lot."
Could tomorrow's game be important for you in terms of the national team?
"I want to show everyone what I can do in every match. The important thing is to win, not to score or assist. The important thing is to gain points and try to go to the Champions League's next round."
