In the preview conference for this Sunday’s game in Venice, for the 21st round of Serie A, Milan coach Stefano Pioli praised Rafael Leão.
But he also left messages for the Portuguese international, who is on his third season at the San Siro club.
“It must continue to work with great conviction and ambition, because it can become one of the references of European and world football. Sometimes it reminds me of Thierry Henry (former French striker who made his career at Arsenal and is currently assistant coach of Belgium), when he started playing on the left and then moved to the centre. Rafael has to continue to work hard, work his head to be even more ambitious, to be able to reach the top of the world”, said the coach of the rossoneri, 56 years old, about the forward, 22 years old.
This season, the Sporting-trained player participated in 20 games, between the Champions League and Serie A, scored six goals and provided three assists.
