Sacchi critical of Milan star Rafael Leao: ‘It’s like going fishing’ | OneFootball

Arrigo Sacchi insists Rafael Leao is not a leader and compares the Portuguese star’s performances to ‘going fishing.’

Leao failed to impress in a 0-0 draw against Juventus on Saturday.

Sacchi wrote a harsh editorial on Gazzetta dello Sport on Monday, criticising the Portuguese and the whole Rossoneri squad.

“Do people realise that he [Leao] is not a leader because of his character?” wrote Sacchi.

“In some games, he’s a good player. In others, you won’t even notice him.

“It’s like going fishing, and you never know whether you’ll return with a full or empty basket.”

Leao has three goals and five assists in 15 appearances across all competitions this season.

He is expected to start in a Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava tomorrow.
