AC Milan’s starting forwards all struggled during the 1-1 draw against Atalanta last night which contributed to the scramble to get a point.
That is according to Tuttosport, who have relayed their player ratings for the game this morning. Mike Maignan and Davide Calabria were the best of the rearguard as each got a score of 6.5 out of 10, while Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez scored 6.
Sandro Tonali also got a 6 while his partner in the double pivot Ismael Bennacer was given a 6.5 for what was a dominant display with a crucial goal to add. Junior Messias (5), Brahim Diaz (5) and Rafael Leao (5.5) all struggled in the trident behind Ante Rebic (5) as Pioli’s faith after the Udinese win was not repaid.
In terms of substitutions, Alexis Saelemaekers (5.5), Charles De Ketelaere (6), Divock Origi (6) and Olivier Giroud (5.5) all came on but failed to make a contribution worthy of snatching all three points.
In my honest opinion leao is worth 7m per season salary , and he was marked in pairs and when he moving with the ball on the run another defenser cover quickly, he lack consistent doesn’t deserve 7m salary to be fair
Leah played last night like he thinks he’s the finished product. More effort required as he needs to make things happen in the final third. Too many give aways..
The over-optimistic (delusional?) goal-scoring attempts from 30m and close to by-line really sums up his mind-set at the moment. He thinks he’s already won the Ballon d’Or and is the GOAT. Did anyone see him doing ANY defending yesterday? I didn’t.
Talent without humility is soon wasted.
One-trick horse Leao is getting cut to size. He isn’t worth 3m IMO. He should be quickly sold off and proceeds used to get Ziyech/Berardi and the other midfield and defense options.
Diaz should be benched immediately and CDK used.
Leao problem have always been psychological, dude is just not ready to put in the work, it is very visible in his plays, you can see the talent but the talent carrier is just too lazy to harness it…..these days he doesn’t pass or cross as usual, he would rather take shot from impossible angle or try to dribble instead of passing, we could have gone up a goal earlier in the match but he choose to shot from an impossible angle that just cross……he was not even running, he was just strolling around the pitch like he is Messi, people blame rebic but rebic suffered because of Leao, Leao never stayed in his wing, always going to the middle to compete with rebic, slowing the attack when he wanna dribble and gives nothing without the ball……goodluck getting 7m
