"In the first half, he was called back by Allegri's staff: by Landucci, but also by Magnanelli and Corradi several times. They wanted something more, especially in terms of energy. In the second half, Leao came on better, but neither he nor Pulisic were certainly shining."
"The chance that infuriated Leao was when there was space to run vertically and Pulisic didn't pass him: Leao got very angry and told him to go to hell. The fact that he didn't play many balls meant that this nervousness increased minute by minute."
"Leao then explained to Allegri: 'He didn't give me the ball, he didn't give me the ball'. And then he also told him to go to hell, he got angry about the substitution. He sat on the bench with Mazzoni, who tried to give him a high five."
Rafael Leao displayed significant frustration during Milan's match against Lazio, culminating in a heated reaction to his substitution in the 67th minute. Throughout the match, Leao was called back by coaching staff for lacking energy and intensity. His anger intensified when Christian Pulisic failed to pass to him during opportunities to run vertically. When Allegri decided to substitute Leao, the forward resisted and shoved the coach away, telling him to go to hell. Goalkeeper Maignan attempted to calm Leao, but the forward continued his outburst on the bench, throwing his jacket and kicking equipment. This incident echoes a previous confrontation at the same stadium last season.
