Ademola Lookman Is Better Than Rafael Leao – Antonio Cassano

AC Milan forward, Rafael Leao is half the player Christian Pulisic is, Antonio Cassano has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders are actually the best players at AC Milan right now, and one bit of skill does not make Leao a great player.

Cassano added that there are footballers who make the difference on the pitch, and Rafael is not one of them.

His words, “Now some failed, incompetent parasite tries to say Leao has to play, he is the most talented player at Milan. Stop, absolutely not. In my view, Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders are the best Milan players, they are the ones who scored 15 goals.

Pulisic works all the way down the flank, he can cut inside, provide assists, score goals, work for the team. He does everything that Leao does not know how to do.

Leao gets one pass right for every four he tries. He got only six goals this season [in the Serie A]. We are here to educate those people who don’t know what it really means to play football, study, love and respect this sport. One bit of skill does not mean you are a great player. He scored six goals.

These people want to talk about Leao, when Reijnders and Pulisic got twice as many goals? These are players who make the difference, not Leao. He is half a player, that’s all. Why don’t they talk about [Bologna’s] Riccardo Orsolini, who scored more goals than Leao? Because he only earns €1.5m per season compared to Leao’s €8m? Orsolini, [Lazio’s] Mattia Zaccagni and [Atalanta’s] Ademola Lookman are all better than Leao.”

WOW.
