Rafael Leao has made his thoughts on the criticism he received from Antonio Cassano very clear with a post on his social media account.
After yesterday’s match between Milan and Borussia Dortmund there were a lot of differing views on the performance and the result, which was a 0-0 draw in which the Rossoneri had chances to win but didn’t take them.
Cassano also spoke on Bobo TV and he decided to heavily criticise Leao and the fact that he himself did not have a threatening shot on goal, with his comments relayed by PianetaMilan.
“Leao made two or three runs, but he never shot on goal, zero assists, you miss the decisive play. Leao makes two runs, it’s all speed, the ball forward and that’s it. Then you have to make the difference,” he said.
“You can’t throw a point away, but the next one you go to Paris. He always makes the wrong play: the only right one is the idea of a one-two with Pulisic. He never defends, you have to create 10 scoring opportunities for me.”
The response from Leao himself was not long in coming. He quoted a video clip of Cassano’s comments on Bobo TV with five laughing emojis and four clown faces.
Nobody can doubt Leao’s status as a leader of this Milan team but it does often seem that he is singled out above almost all others to be put in the firing line after a game that doesn’t go to plan result-wise.
