Interviewed by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', former AC Milan number 7 Andriy Shevchenko spoke about the derby scheduled for tonight at San Siro, a match he decided, played, and won several times during his Rossoneri career.
Did you also read the interview in which Rafael Leão asked his teammates to stay fully focused and avoid going out in the evenings this week?
"Of course. I liked it. It shows a different Rafa in this respect as well, and it is another sign of his maturity. He is on the right path."
Leão will partner with Christian Pulisic: could the derby be the chance for him to break his scoring drought? In the first meeting he was the man of the match, but in 2026 he has not scored yet.
“Do not believe the story that a player of his caliber might already have his mind on the World Cup. That simply does not exist. When a player steps onto the pitch, he always tries to give his maximum for his team at that moment. Pulisic has scored important goals and will keep doing so, with Milan and later at the World Cup with the United States.”
