"Rafael Leao is becoming ever-present at the centre of AC Milan games this season, and he is aiding the side in getting big results. When Massimiliano Allegri was first linked to the Milan job, it seemed like he wanted to build around Leao. Of course, given the Portuguese's quality, it was understandable and still is. However, with a new role in mind, it would be interesting to see how it played out."
"Now, it appears to be a masterstroke, with Leao potentially at his best level in years, if not ever in a Rossoneri shirt. In four Serie A starts, he has three goals and an assist, which have directly contributed to two wins and a draw. Leao's 'ease' on Sunday After the Juventus game, many were left a bit puzzled with him and his position, and questions have even been asked since."
"He played with ease in those spaces. He was good, but also unlucky. It's always worth noting when he does that kind of move: then he pauses, as always, but tonight he was good."
Rafael Leao has become central to AC Milan matches this season, increasingly occupying a central role and producing decisive performances. Massimiliano Allegri was linked with building around Leao and a revised on-field role has emerged. The positional change coincided with improved output: in four Serie A starts Leao scored three goals and provided one assist, directly contributing to two wins and a draw. Questions arose after the Juventus game about his exact position, but sustained form in recent matches suggests he may be at the peak of his club career. Billy Costacurta praised Leao's ease and effectiveness in those spaces.
