The new striker version of Rafael Leao is impressing the entire Milan world, which is asking him to keep scoring in the role Massimiliano Allegri has crafted for him in his 3-5-2.
Leao as striker convinces: Milan asks him to keep scoring
The Portuguese player, who was converted from left winger to center-forward at the start of the season, has scored 7 goals in thirteen matches this season (including two in which he left before halftime due to injury and two in which he only played the final minutes). In the league, he has eleven appearances and six goals, scoring once every 122 minutes; his best rate since joining Serie A, as pointed out by those at Milan News.
Tonight, the Rossoneri will again rely on their number 10, who, barring last-minute issues, will also return to play alongside Christian Pulisic, a pairing that was meant to start together but has only been seen against Inter due to injuries to both players. It is a great opportunity to increase his tally and to do exactly what Allegri asked yesterday: keep scoring.
