Interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, former coach Fabio Capello spoke about Milan, focusing in particular on individual players—such as Rafael Leao, who is expected to make an important leap in quality with Max Allegri on the bench, and Santiago Gimenez.
The end of “Theao”: a real shame.
"Yes, a shame. It was the most beautiful left flank in Europe—great in terms of pace, less so in terms of mindset. Unfortunately, Hernandez gave up at a certain point."
Rafael Leao will also need to support Santiago Gimenez better.
"The Mexican had shown some promising things; it's right to keep him. Let’s give him time."
Who is the right striker in the squad alongside him? Capello commented:
"A box striker, as Tare says. But you have to find the right one: there's always the issue of the weight of the shirt to take into account."
What do you particularly like about Santiago Gimenez?
"The way he moves. So far, he’s been too timid."
