"Above all, there is a lot of talk about how Leao demonstrated his unhappiness after being taken off in the second half. It came just after Christian Pulisic didn't release a pass to him, and the Portuguese forward ignored Mike Maignan's intervention, shoving Massimiliano Allegri twice before kicking water bottles on the bench."
"Below, a video from CompMilano demonstrated why Leao might have some valid frustrations. While it doesn't justify the way he behaved after being subbed off, he did make several threatening runs that were not found because his team-mates didn't pick their heads up."
Rafael Leao became the center of attention following Milan's 1-0 defeat to Lazio, where the team missed an opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table. After being substituted in the second half, Leao displayed his unhappiness by shoving coach Massimiliano Allegri twice and kicking water bottles on the bench, ignoring goalkeeper Mike Maignan's attempts to intervene. The incident followed a moment when Christian Pulisic failed to pass to him. Video analysis reveals that while Leao's behavior was unjustifiable, he had made several dangerous attacking runs that went unfound because his teammates failed to locate him with their passes.
