CorSera: A trend to reverse – Leao suffering San Siro absence this season | OneFootball

Against Udinese, Rafael Leao showed his best and was electrifying in his new role for Sergio Conceicao. However, the winger needs to turn the tide at San Siro.

The pressure of playing at San Siro can be felt by anyone and everyone; after all, there is an exuberance to the stadium, and that can bring some players down. However, this season, it is having a clear effect on Leao.

On Friday night, Leao notched up his seventh goal of the Serie A season, which is a real delight. As Corriere della Sera (via Milan News) write, though, he has yet to score at home this season, which is certainly a bit of a questionable statistic.

In fact, he was even asked after the game about his drought in Milano, but he is choosing to overlook it, correctly so, and this should only bode well for the Portuguese star, as getting lost in stats is a dangerous game. More so, as he has had this problem before.

This season, there are just three games left at San Siro in Serie A; those being against Atalanta (this weekend), Bologna (May 11) and Monza (May 25). Games of big importance as the star looks to experience the roar of the crowd for his own goals.
