As has been reported by Tuttosport (via Pianeta Milan), the coach wants to see a much better performance from Leao that features more end product.
Whilst he did score against Inter in the 5-1 defeat, he was nowhere near as effective as Milan need him to be.
Against Newcastle, his build-up play in the first half was excellent but he lacked end product, with his failed back-heel finish going viral on Tuesday evening.
There was never any suggestion that Pioli would drop Leao for the match against Verona on Saturday but he does want to see a better and more effective performance from the Portuguese forward.
There is set to be a change of shape which could change the way that Leao functions on the left wing.
