The last two performances of Rafael Leao with AC Milan are causing discussion in the media. The Rossoneri jewel is under scrutiny mainly for the attitude he showed on the field.
After Milan-Newcastle, even more debate arose about the MVP award he received in the match. The winger failed to make an impact and lead his team in the Derby and in the Champions League, where he also clumsily wasted a glaring opportunity by missing a backheel shot. Commenting on the player's attitude on 'Radio Radio', Fernando Orsi expressed himself like this: "What he did on Tuesday was excessive. To become a top player, he must take his profession more seriously. I believe that in 10 years, he won't change much."
Pruzzo, on the other hand, asserts: "He's no longer a kid; he doesn't have much time left to make that leap in quality. If he doesn't reach the level of top players, he remains a very good player, overpaid. The expectations are very high, and Milan had to pay even the clubs for the renewal."
Top player or very good player? Sandro Sabatini also gave his opinion on Rafael Leao after the recent lackluster performances.
"We haven't yet understood Leao's true value; we have understood the value of the one who gave him the MVP award: he doesn't understand anything. Who decided this? For me, Leao will never be Mbappé, but neither will he be Balotelli."
