"It would be fair to say that he doesn't agree with what the former Inter striker has had to say about the Portuguese. Emanuele: "Antonio, aren't you making all this fuss over Leao because you're actually in love with him, and you see in him the only refinement and bravado in Serie A, just like you did? Or are you also a results-oriented player who criticises talent?""
"Cassano: "I criticise Leao because he thinks he's a phenomenon. Because I always make comparisons... He's a rapper, earns 8 million, scores three goals a season, and then there's the talent... He has no talent." Emanuele: "No, Antò, if someone who looks at a man with a smile and makes a crazy play isn't 'sophistication', then who's left in Serie A now? Do you want the toy soldier or the genius? Make up your mind!""
A public exchange occurred during a Bari theatre stop on a touring show featuring Lele Adani, Antonio Cassano, and Nicola Ventola. A young attendee named Emanuele challenged Cassano over his harsh assessment of Rafael Leao, asking whether Cassano admired Leao's style or merely criticised talent for results. Cassano dismissed Leao as overrated, calling him a rapper who earns much but delivers little and insisting Leao lacks true genius. Emanuele defended Leao's flair and creativity, asking whether sophistication and genius should be valued over conformity, prompting continued banter about perceptions of talent.
