""Yes. I started late, at 7 or 8 years old. Before signing with Sporting, I had signed with Benfica. My father at the time couldn't drive me; he didn't have a car. Benfica offered to pick me up after school; I was a Benfica fan at the time. But what I was told wasn't respected.""
Rafael Leao grew up in a place with few opportunities but abundant talent. He started football at 7 or 8 and moved from Benfica to Sporting after an unfulfilled promise. He injured his calf in August and has been affected by an adductor and lower back issue. He lobbed Jean Butez from a 50-yard pass by Ardon Jashari to earn a draw against Como and maintain Milan's unbeaten run. FaceTime contact with Maldini and Zlatan occurred during his transfer process, and contract renewal talks are reportedly underway.
