Ahead of the match against Juventus at the San Siro, AC Milan consultant, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, granted an interview.
He spoke about Rafael Leao and said these words
"I've always been proud of Leao," he told DAZN. "I met him when he was still a kid, and now he's grown, more mature and adult. Now, he is a footballer; before, he was just a potential talent. Everyone has moments, both good and bad. He's currently in a good moment: we're behind him, supporting and motivating him to always do well. As a player, he has to make the difference—he's one of the strongest in the world. He's shown it and continues to show it."
Does Rafael Leao have the fire within, the ambition to always strive for more?
"I think Leao doesn’t realise how strong he is. When he understands that, everything will come together. He has this pressure because he's one of the best, otherwise, people wouldn’t talk about him. What do I tell him? It’s all about balance. If you tell someone every day that they’re the best, they might relax—it depends on the player’s character and who they are. In my case, I didn’t need anyone to tell me. He also needs to ignite himself with experience."
On Alvaro Morata, Ibrahimovic said:
"Morata took a hit to the head and missed the Cagliari match. Then he played a bit with the national team and has been training with the squad. We are very satisfied: we knew what he brings and what he has brought. He’s a team player who doesn’t score 50 goals a year but helps his teammates and is a leader who supports the team."
