Giorgio is a severe failure Chiellini he gives to Rafael Leao. The former defender of Juventus criticized the striker’s performances Milan to Euro2024 with the Portugalexplaining that he cannot be compared to champions who play in the big leagues like Vinicius or Rodrygo.
Milan, Chiellini dismantles Leao
George Chiellini outspoken about Rafael Leao. Interviewed by Sky Sport, the former Juventus defender and captain commented negatively on the performances of the Juventus striker Milan to Euro2024 with the Portugalmaking it clear that the evaluation given by the Rossoneri environment to the former Lille – let’s remember that in Leao’s contract there is a clause 170 million euros – is exaggerated.
Milan, for Chiellini Leao is not at the level of Vinicius and Rodrygo
“We would all like him to be a little further forward but he isn’t – declared Chiellini speaking of Leao -: he lacks numbers and the potential are so unexpressed. I don’t know if it will ever be able to click in the head to do more goals And assist”. To date, Leao has played 29 matches for the national team, scoring 4 goals. In Milan, he has scored 58 goals (accompanied by 50 assists), but in 210 matches overall, with an average of one goal every 245′.
Numbers that push Chiellini into a very harsh analysis of Leao’s overall value. “To date, for me Leao is a good substitute rather than a permanent starter for a team that aims to win or a European or the Champions League – the closure of the former Juve -. If the meter of comparison I am Vinicius And Rodrygois not at their level.”
Portugal, Leao disappointment at Euro2024
Words, those of Chiellini, which seem confirmed by the performances offered so far by Leao a Euro2024. The coach of Portugal Roberto Martinez he started him against the Czech Republic and Turkey, and then replaced him in both matches, in the 63rd and 45th minutes. The change with Pedro Neto in the match against the Turks it appeared to most as a real failure on the part of the Portuguese coach. Without forgetting that Leao was booked in both matches for simulationand was then disqualified for last night’s match which Portugal lost against Georgia.
