Legendary Italian footballer Leon, Rafael Leao, is facing considerable scrutiny following Milan’s recent successes. Paolo Di Canio has renewed his criticism of his performance, asserting that Milan’s play improves significantly when he is absent from the field. Leao is currently experiencing a challenging period marked by inconsistent performances, a series of injuries, and growing tensions within the squad.
Recently, a disagreement with Christian Pulisic further compounded his difficulties. Furthermore, speculation surrounding his contract has introduced an element of uncertainty regarding his long-term future with the club. Di Canio highlighted this during his address at the “Legends Trophy” event.
He emphasized that Milan has demonstrated superior performance without Leao’s involvement. “Without his presence, Milan scores more goals and displays greater defensive stability,” Di Canio stated. Statistics support this claim, revealing that Milan has netted 21 goals in eight games when Leao is not playing.
Di Canio’s comments, regardless of whether Leao will be formally reprimanded, reflect a strong opinion. “I don’t care if he is my brother,” he declared, underlining his resolute stance on the matter.
