AC Milan head coach – Stefano Pioli, was not at all satisfied with the performance of club star Rafael Leao in the 0-0 draw against Newcastle in the Champions League.
The Portuguese missed a number of chances, and in one situation, left alone against the goalkeeper, he tried to score a backheel goal, but tripped. According to “Gazzeta dello Sport”, the Rossoneri coach is considering giving Leao a rest for the upcoming match with Verona.
According to the Italian media, it is very likely that Pioli leaves Leao on the bench this weekend, giving Noah Okafor his first start of the season. The manager would want to simultaneously give the Portuguese some rest and make him think about his commitment levels during the games.
