“Leao cornered by Allegri and Milan”
This is the headline from Tuttosport this morning about Rafael Leao’s difficult moment. The Portuguese winger has faced heavy criticism after poor performances against Napoli and Juventus.
Having been out for several weeks due to injury, he is clearly behind in terms of fitness, but he must take the field with a different attitude.
During his absence, Max Allegri, who from day one placed great trust in the former Lille player, managed to shape a winning Milan that showed it can perform even without Leao. Now the Portuguese forward is with his national team, and many hope that being back home will help him recover mentally so he can return to Milanello with a renewed spirit.
