AC Milan coach Pioli: Leao a very intelligent, very sensitive boy. I like him so much

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admits he loves working with Rafael Leao.

Ahead of tonight’s Champions League clash at Chelsea, Pioli says Leao’s on-field persona is nothing like what he works with on the training pitch.

Pioli said: “His attitudes, his taunting and his grimace of a smile on his face does not correspond to the Rafael inside.

“A very intelligent, very sensitive boy. I like him so much because he listens. I advise him every day not to be satisfied.

“Never. Because whoever has the potential he has, must make the most of it and then truly reach the top of the world.”
