"In the last few weeks, in the last few days, even on the eve of the match in Rome, they say that Rafa wasn't 100% focused. He skipped breakfast a few times, was too distracted."
"Milan and Leao's relationship as 'a long love story that's now experiencing a downturn'. What happened at the Olimpico - when the player refused to accept the substitution and shoved Massimiliano Allegri - has caused some concern."
"Nobody liked the Portuguese's attitude, not the management nor his team-mates, and there is already talk of his renewal being put on hold."
Rafael Leao's substitution during AC Milan's defeat to Lazio sparked controversy when he refused to accept the decision and shoved manager Massimiliano Allegri. Reports indicate Milan staff had pre-existing concerns about Leao's focus, noting he appeared distracted in recent weeks, skipping breakfast multiple times before the Rome match. His poor performance at the Olimpico combined with his exaggerated reaction to being taken off disappointed both management and teammates. The incident has prompted discussions about putting his contract renewal on hold. While Milan may avoid formal disciplinary action, Allegri faces a challenging situation managing team morale following Leao's outburst.
