Until now, the AC Milan team of head coach Massimiliano Allegri has managed to cope without him, but given the injury crisis affecting the team, Rafael Leao now has the duty and responsibility to lead his teammates toward the top of the Serie A table.
To do that, the team must beat Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina side, always a difficult opponent.
Regarding tonight’s match and the role of the Rossoneri’s number 10, Il Corriere della Sera newspaper ran the following headline:
"Milan, a Leao ready to score to welcome back his friend Pioli"
The ex Rossoneri tactician returns to the San Siro grounds after more than 500 days, but this time as an opponent.
