"Massimiliano Allegri has named one aspect that Rafael Leao has improved in recent months, which he believes is a sign of growth for Milan's No.10. Prior to the season, many described this as the final chance for Leao. Since joining Milan in 2019, there have been many ups and downs from the Portuguese international, from the unplayable form in the Scudetto season to goalscoring struggles in the league."
""He's slowly realising that a striker is valued for the goals he scores, which is a sign of growth," he stated. Tomorrow, Leao will start up front alongside Christian Pulisic for the first time in the league this season. It will be very interesting to see the two together from start as clearly, they both have a lot of quality."
Rafael Leao has improved his awareness that scoring goals matters more than flair. Many observers labeled the season a final chance after inconsistent performances since his 2019 arrival, ranging from unplayable form in the Scudetto campaign to recent goalscoring struggles. Milan have entrusted Massimiliano Allegri with improving Leao's attacking productivity. Leao remains strong at chance creation but has lacked decision-making and composure in decisive moments. Allegri highlighted that a striker's value is measured by goals, framing Leao's growing realisation as a sign of development. Leao will start in a 3-5-2 front pairing with Christian Pulisic in the upcoming league match.
