here’s what happened – Corriere.it

There is no peace for Raphael Leao. These are not happy weeks for the Portuguese, who has lost his shape and smile. The moment is really black, as evidenced by the two benches in a row with Sassuolo (January 29) and Inter (February 5). But if his entry onto the pitch with the black and greens hadn’t affected the Rossoneri’s offensive game, in the derby a few flashes (of course, not like the pre-World Cup ones) were seen, up to putting Giroud in front of goal, that by controlling the ball badly he the chance of a possible draw is devoured. Now, however, one too many likes have popped up.

Summarizing the facts, at the end of the match Stefano Pioli was categorical, explaining that he would make the choice to keep Rafael Leao on the bench again. AC Milan fans on social media have sided with the Portuguese – a player to whom the club based in via Aldo Rossi has offered seven million euros a year to renew his contract expiring in June 2024 – who has not released any statement on this bad period. However, it popped up a like on Twitter which causes discussion. In fact, the footballer “liked” a page of “Semper Milan” which published the article in the Gazzetta dello Sport entitled “Leao out? I’d do it again.” Perhaps the player wanted to send a message to the club and his coach, but only in the next few days will it be better understood whether he really agreed or, as many think, was sarcastic. Meanwhile, now Milan are currently out of the league Champions and on Friday 10 February Turin arrives at the San Siro, a month after the victory of the grenade in extra time, again at the Meazza, in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup.
