Fabio Caressa, a well-known journalist, made some surprising statements in the 'Sky Sport Italia' studios, specifically about the AC Milan star winger, Rafael Leao.
According to the journalist, the player needs mental support, as something seems off for him. The telltale sign that led him to this thought was Leao's trademark smiles, which now appear more strained.
Here’s what he said:
"When it rains, there's always a risk of a downpour, and for Leao, it’s pouring. Those smiles of his, which used to be his trademark when he was happy, are now a bit forced. Something’s not right. I think two things: one, that maybe we overestimated him a bit when he showed us extraordinary things, and the other is that, at present, his mind is overpowering his body. If I were Milan—I'm not sure if they’ve done this already—I would get him a sports psychologist rather than a mental coach."
Leao needs a psychologist - The journalist adds:
"A sports psychologist teaches you to develop your mental and competitive strength, and I think that’s what Leao needs right now."
