Rafael Leao is certainly maturing, and his performances for AC Milan this season are showing as much, both mentally and literally.
With Leao, it has always been a case of the ceiling. How high can he actually go, and how far can he take Milan? At his best, there is no ceiling, and right now, it seems like the ceiling is gradually disappearing.
Whilst it is still early doors, the star looks like just that: a star. His performances are consistent – something which has eluded him for years – and he is regularly being the guy for the Rossoneri, often getting points by himself.
The promise to Milan
Before the game, Igli Tare said as much to the media, stating that he is a player who ‘wins games on his own’, and his assist for Strahinja Pavlovic was another example of this. However, as MilanNews relays, it also showed his mentality, that he wanted to carry the team on his back.
“I’m confident he’ll have a great game tonight because he even promised us that,” Tare stated before kick-off, and Leao delivered. Another assist, another example of his maturity, and even stepping away from the assist, he was a regular threat.
There has been a lot said about Leao in the past, but the future certainly looks bright, with him shining.
