As often happens in big games where he does not get on the scoresheet, Rafael Leao’s performance against Bayer Leverkusen is dividing opinion among fans and the media.
As Calciomercato.com‘s Daniele Longo writes, the most positive note was probably Youssouf Fofana who took the keys to the midfield and gave an almost omni-present performance, showing exactly what he can bring as the balancer of the side.
The most interesting note concerns Leao: against the German champions he was unable to score or assist as much as he would have liked, but the work for and with the team was excellent, meaning the winger must start again from here.
Leao’s performance at the BayArena divided the fans as often happens. However, those who are dissatisfied are smaller in numbers than those who appreciated the fighting spirit shown on the field by the former Lille man.
He was not always perfect in defensive retreats, but he certainly showed himself to be attentive and fully applied particularly during what was a difficult first half spent mostly defending. Rafa is working on some aspects that he previously neglected, now he wants to become complete and mature.
