"After the second pass didn't arrive, the Portuguese player became furious, first telling his teammate where to go in unflattering terms, then telling him: 'Damn, bro. Go inside, bro.' He means to release the pass inside the full-back, to release him on goal."
"Allegri also got angry on the bench, screaming: 'Give it to him!' He then watched it back with his staff in the dugout, and remarked to one of them: 'With this one, he puts him in on goal, oh, that's already two! Two already!'"
"Leao said to Allegri: 'He has to pass the ball, mister!' The response from the coach: 'You're right! Stay calm!' Then, the forward shoved Allegri twice as he tried to hug him before heading to the bench, kicking everything in sight and throwing away his shinpads."
"Leao, talking to himself, had some more tough words for Pulisic: 'He always plays alone and no one says anything, my goodness... Always the same thing.' Thankfully, peace has now prevailed after an apology and a handshake at Milanello."
During Milan's match against Lazio, Rafael Leao grew increasingly frustrated with Christian Pulisic's decision-making in the second half. Pulisic failed to pass to Leao on two separate occasions when clear goal-scoring opportunities were available. After the second missed pass, Leao verbally expressed his anger toward his teammate. Coach Massimiliano Allegri also reacted from the bench, frustrated by the missed chances. When Leao was subsequently substituted, he responded poorly to the decision, showing visible frustration on the touchline and directing further criticism at Pulisic. The tension was eventually resolved through an apology and handshake at the team's training facility.
