"Alessandro Florenzi believes that Rafael Leao is the best player in Serie A, but his best position depends on the system used. Ever since he joined from Lille all the way back in 2019, there has been debate about where to play Leao. Massimiliano Allegri's decision to use a 3-5-2 sees the Portuguese playing perhaps the closest to goal that he ever has, at least since he was starring for Lille in France."
"Leao scored the winning goal against Lazio on Saturday night with what would be considered a trademark striker's finish. He was in the right place at the right time to fire in Fikayo Tomori's perfect cross, and it is a goal that will have very much pleased Allegri."
"It always depends on the formation. Allegri focused first on the team's solidity. He decided to play with five players and provide solidity, with two strikers, After Pulisic's injury, Leao scored five goals and provided an assist. Whether he plays on the left or up front, for me Leao is the best player in Serie A."
Rafael Leao is widely regarded as the best player in Serie A, with his optimal position dependent on the tactical system. Debate over his best role has continued since his move from Lille in 2019. Massimiliano Allegri's 3-5-2 has positioned Leao closer to goal than during his Lille years. Leao scored a decisive striker's finish from Fikayo Tomori's cross against Lazio. Allegri prioritized team solidity with five defenders and two strikers. After Christian Pulisic's injury, Leao recorded five goals and one assist, performing effectively both on the left and up front.
