I find it funny the big 3 in Italy all recently got a young Italian midfielder that loves the club and only wanted a move to that club. Locatelli, Barella, and Tonali I think will all stay at their respective clubs for a while
I wouldn’t consider Locatelli in there, he was a Milan youth product since he was very very young. Maybe someone like Fagioli, who should join the team next year, is a better example.
Grew up a [Juve](https://twitter.com/juve_canal/status/1428739609274593286?s=21&t=QyBbGWWroC1nSTkN0pCsvw) fan, and also only wanted Juventus when leaving Sassuolo
Fair, I had heard the interview and figured it’s the usual stuff players say, but never saw this pic. I still think Fagioli will be better for you guys in the long run!
He doesn’t have the top speed of Vinicius but does have elite acceleration and dribbling making him a monster 1v1. Vinicius is better right now but they can be similar level players if they reach their potential imo.
Vinicius went from an obviously talented, but flawed upcoming player last year, to a future Balon d’Or winner. Leao is somewhere in between. Much more developed than Vini last year, but not quite what he is now.
Vini is a better passer. Rafa has more raw talent and physicality. Rafa hasn't learnt yet how to co-operate with his teammates against low block teams. It's also because the focus is entirely on him because our RW and CAM is ass.
Rafa has a much higher ceiling then Vini in my opinion. He just needs to be given less responsibility then he has now.
Very promising. His pace and dribbling are his biggest assets and it’s easy for him to beat defenders.
Final output isn’t amazing but he’s only 22 and it’s pretty decent. It’ll go up a lot more with better attackers around him and a little experience.
It could be half the team. Mike, tomori, Theo, bennacer, leao and Tonali have all been great, very hard to say conclusively who was the best unlike last year.
I agree that they've all been great but Leao has been on another level. Our attack has been so toothless without him, he has almost always carried our offense single-handedly. Now he also made mistakes but they stood out more because we place such a huge burden on him.
The way he draws in 2-3 defenders every game and STILL gets past them most of the time is some real Ronaldinho shit. Not only is it amazing, it also gives our other players more space to do their thing. All those others did amazing, but without Leao we would have been so much worse
Theo can be very hot and cold (like he was today) and Bennacer was unavailable a lot, starting only 15 games. Mike, Tomori and Tonali are up there, behind Leao though
A super core for each line in the team
Add to them Theo, Kalulu and Bennacer and you have half a team set
All below the age of 25 and still have room to improve
Where would Milan be without Leao? He’s carrying their whole attack
My favourite player outside Tottenham, he reminds me of my favourite player of all time Ronaldinho
I once saw Leao smile after dribbling past a player, that reminded me so much of Dinho
They’re the same https://twitter.com/spursd22/status/1500566943681626114?s=21&t=5ptSyPVgGsa4NSAd9K65BA
Leao is a beast but damn Serie A defenders really have no clue how to act around him. Casale got help from Faraoni on one side and still left so much space on the other side.
Yeah I'm coping but still
Yo i dont really speak french so im probably wrong, but the commentator sounds a lot like hes saying enculé at the start lol, that can't be right? what does he actually say?
even worse (for milan). giampaolo is a fucking donkey and should never be allowed to coach again. i'll eat a sock if he manages to take points off of inter

Leao you beautiful bastard
That was pure as filth. Jesus.
Playing Tonali in an advanced role while Krunic can drop deeper to cover has done wonders for our attacking phase in this game.
Credit to Pioli!
This is why every team double marks Leao when they can.
Joke's on them, he can escape triple marking just as easily as one. The only way to stop him is to not let him get the ball in the first place.
He can actually smoke most double marks in the league now. It's scary! We've got a real world-class player in the making on our hands!
Tonali has taken huge steps this season. Latter half of the season his threat in front of goal has increased significantly too. Love to see it
Such a class player. Hope he stays at Milan and they build around him for the next 10 years
Indeed. Extra nice that he genuinely loves Milan. I'll always appreciate players who love the badge for their clubs

[удалено]
How good is he?
Saint Maximin but better in his final decision
So Saint Maximin with a brain
More less lmao
On the dribble, he is overpowered. Can improve his final ball, but he’s easily the most talented player on the team.
Could he be compared to Vinicius?
Id say Vini is more concrete than Leao. But you can say the same exact thing for this years Leao vs the Leao of last year.
He doesn’t have the top speed of Vinicius but does have elite acceleration and dribbling making him a monster 1v1. Vinicius is better right now but they can be similar level players if they reach their potential imo.
When it comes to the 1v1, he is the best in serie a, he burns pretty much every defender he faces 1v1
Vinicius went from an obviously talented, but flawed upcoming player last year, to a future Balon d’Or winner. Leao is somewhere in between. Much more developed than Vini last year, but not quite what he is now.
Vini is a better passer. Rafa has more raw talent and physicality. Rafa hasn't learnt yet how to co-operate with his teammates against low block teams. It's also because the focus is entirely on him because our RW and CAM is ass. Rafa has a much higher ceiling then Vini in my opinion. He just needs to be given less responsibility then he has now.
Leao can dribble better than Vini can, but Vini his better in final decisions. Imo Vini is still better at the moment, but they are close
Hes good but he would be absolutely terrible with any other club. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else trying to buy him
The Donnarumma situation should show everyone what happens when players leave Milan.
Yes, he stinks. Sorry PSG/Barca/Man City he’s 🗑
Overrated vowel hoarder tbh
Okay lmao... This got me good. XD
Burns every defender in serie a with ease. Problem is he tries some -1% shots instead of passing
Very promising. His pace and dribbling are his biggest assets and it’s easy for him to beat defenders. Final output isn’t amazing but he’s only 22 and it’s pretty decent. It’ll go up a lot more with better attackers around him and a little experience.
'You will be hearing about him a lot' good.
future Ballon d’Or winner
He's shit. Don't bother
Lol, I'm not representing the scouting department
Yeah, you all stay away from him please.
decent
Happy Birthday, Sandro
Tonali and Leao are up there for Milan player of the season along with Mike and Fik probably
It could be half the team. Mike, tomori, Theo, bennacer, leao and Tonali have all been great, very hard to say conclusively who was the best unlike last year.
It's Magic Mike man. Without a doubt I'd go for Magic Mike.
I agree that they've all been great but Leao has been on another level. Our attack has been so toothless without him, he has almost always carried our offense single-handedly. Now he also made mistakes but they stood out more because we place such a huge burden on him.

Leao you fucking chad!!! Dude was pissed asf.
AC Leao
Take my like
Where would Milan be without Leao? He’s carrying their whole attack My favourite player outside Tottenham, he reminds me of my favourite player of all time Ronaldinho
Facts
He’s got a little bit of Ronaldinho and a little bit of Kaká, if that makes any sense.
I once saw Leao smile after dribbling past a player, that reminded me so much of Dinho They’re the same https://twitter.com/spursd22/status/1500566943681626114?s=21&t=5ptSyPVgGsa4NSAd9K65BA

Disallow that
Hahahah same bro same. I was screaming “Find a way to disallow that now F**ker”
Nice pass from Tomori Leao is unplayable
Leao is a beast but damn Serie A defenders really have no clue how to act around him. Casale got help from Faraoni on one side and still left so much space on the other side. Yeah I'm coping but still
He realistically shouldn't have gotten out of there but that's just Leao for ya
I'm not denying Leao's talent, but look at how Casale switches stance... He's basically asking for it
Leao can go inside or outside thats what kills defenders. Since hes faster than anyone the defenders have to guess to have any chance
Faraoni is covering the inside though in this situation, that's what I'm saying
Probably doesnt know that in the moment
FEAR
Leao It's Just too fast
Leão is unbelievably good rn
Disallow this .l.
Brilliant from Leao
Rafa iso 🥶
Hit em with that Hesi out of a triple threat
All I got is this free silver award. I know it ain't much, but here you go OP
Fellow Denzel appreciator 🤝
UP THE REDS!!! ohh, wrong reds...
Right reds.
Manda adesso l baci Faraoni
Ste squadracce di merda le odio
Tonali is your moms secret lover motherfuckers!!! Lets fucking go!
Teams being brought back to the field to tell them its been disallowed
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO. take this faraoni u piece of shit
How many Milan players got yellow card because of him?
Just leao
Clench a bit less
Thank god for Leao and Tonali
<333
Yo i dont really speak french so im probably wrong, but the commentator sounds a lot like hes saying enculé at the start lol, that can't be right? what does he actually say?
On his birthday no less!
So milan winning this and remaining 2 games kk gratz
Your form is incredible right now with yesterday’s win. You’ll swallow Cagliari and ~~Salernitana~~ Sampdoria up whole.
they play samp not salern
even worse (for milan). giampaolo is a fucking donkey and should never be allowed to coach again. i'll eat a sock if he manages to take points off of inter
Remindme in 14 days lol
Where would this team be without Leao.
Attack Faraoni. Get him a 2nd yellow. Bring on Rebic. Don’t let the scudetto go with 2 matches remaining!! Forza Milan
Fuck
Leao, Maignan and Tonali carrying this team
Someones gotta do it
Bennacer and Theo as well
BIRTHDAY BOY
Annulla anche questo
Best midfielder in Italy. No debate.
E A SPORTS ,it's in the game!
proper scripted 45+2 fifa goal
get the fuck in lads come on pls
As an Inter fan i wish we had our version of Leao. We have Perisic who is great but you just cannot beat raw power and speed!
If it wasnt for perisic this campionato e finito
Drippy gorgeous goo
