Rafael Leao and Stefano Pioli have made peace with one another over the controversial substitution against Napoli which led to a very angry reaction, a report claims.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), there is no longer any issue between the coach and the player for fans to worry about.
With the game at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 2-2 with around 10 minutes to go, Pioli made the brave decision to remove both Leao and Olivier Giroud for Noah Okafor and Luka Jovic.
This led to an angry reaction from both players who were taken off, but this report claims that at least with Leao, there was a talk between himself and Pioli which clarified the situation.
Milan were unable to find a winning goal which may not have helped Pioli’s case, but he explained the need for fresh legs at that stage of the contest.
