Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has said that no one in the world can dribble past their marker in the way that AC Milan forward Rafael Leao can.
Speaking during an interview with Corriere della Sera journalist Mario Sconcerti (via Milan News), Allegri spoke glowingly about the Milan forward who was the best player in Serie A last season.
He admitted that no one else can beat their man in the same way that the Portuguese forward can.
“Milan have two exceptional and very modern players, Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao. It comes back to the importance of physicality. There is no one else in the world who beats the man with the power and lightness of Leao,” Allegri said.
Juventus are yet to face AC Milan this season but Allegri will be hoping that his defenders can keep him at bay.
Leao is not going to be available for Stefano Pioli on Sunday because he got a red card int he previous Serie A match against Sampdoria which ended 2-1 to the Rossoneri.
That is a major blow as Milan are facing Napoli who are level on points with them and have been very impressive so far.
