Rafael Leão

Tough times for Rafa in Milan.

Getting benched by Fonseca for Okafor, even in the biggest games like vs Napoli.

I agree he's extremely lazy on the pitch and deserves to be criticized for it. But benching him is not the way to go. Motivate him, lift him up, tell him the time has come. If it doesn't work then offload him. No point really in having one of the most talented wingers in the world sitting on your bench.

Fonseca is a terrible coach. Not just because of this, of course. His results both with and without Leao are ass. I hope Leao can get a coach who'll wake him up finally.

I'm not sure any manager can do that.
He's just not a serious player which is a shame as he's very talented. He plays like he doesn't care. Only there to do what he wants and have fun. No desire to win or get better.

Such a disappointment.

This is my impression of Serie A as a whole. If want to get better need to leave that league asap. But most players seem comfortable there seems. Hope Lauti leaves.

Issue is where could Lautaro go that wouldn't be a downgrade on Inter as a club, Inzaghi as a manager and Milano as a city?
Maybe Arsenal? But I think they'll try to sign Gyökeres.
Inter are fine tbh. Always a tough team to play and beat and with some luck a team that can go very far in the CL. Lautaro has also improved a tonne there.

That goal against Poland, it's impressive. Takes the ball in his own box, carries it to the final third with his speed and bangs a header in. On his best day he's a nightmare for every defender. Fast as fuck and strong like a mountain, yet not limited to that.

But have to admit I didn't watch the game. Was he good @Fati_Future_BallonDor ?

Poor first half like whole team but still one of the better guys

Amazing second half, some great runs, great passes and also an amazing goal.

I have to say when nothing works you give him the ball to create sth with his dribblings but you have always the feeling he can do more, he has the talent to become of the best players in the world

I'm definitely open to admitting I might have judged him too hastily and negatively. However, he likely needs to leave Milan to win big trophies. They're a historic club but struggling to win Serie A and really little threat in the CL.

He's 25 now so this is his time if he's gonna make the step up. Haven't seen his run last night and can't seem to find highlights so if anyone can link me it would be hugely appreciated.

Among the players of Portugal last tournament, where did this generational gamechanger and menace rank? Take your guess.
Neal says there is no one close to him

19th out of 22, 35% dribbles completed
