"They [Milan] have two obvious flaws: they lack a top-notch defender and a starting centre-forward, given that Allegri only uses Fullkrug during the match. For me, he's [Leao] simply not a centre-forward. Let's leave aside the number of goals, but the Portuguese is unable to be a point of reference for his teammates, we can now say that with full knowledge of the facts."
"Leao is not having a bad season by any means, given that he is the joint-top scorer in the league for Milan with eight goals, matching the tally that he racked up in the entirety of last season, and being one away from his 2023-24 total. However, by his and Massimiliano Allegri's admission, Leao hasn't been playing at 100% for some time now due to an adductor issue that turned into pubalgia."
Fabio Capello has expressed concerns about AC Milan's tactical setup, specifically regarding Rafael Leao's role as a striker. While Leao has scored eight goals this season, matching his entire previous campaign, he has been hampered by an adductor injury that developed into pubalgia. Capello argues that Leao is fundamentally unsuited to playing as a centre-forward in a front two, rather than his natural winger position. Beyond goal tallies, Capello contends that Leao cannot serve as a reliable point of reference for teammates in that role. Capello identifies Milan's two primary weaknesses as lacking both an elite defender and a proper starting centre-forward, noting that manager Allegri only uses Fullkrug during matches.
