n Italy, we have a player like Leao who has incredible talent but settles for less.” Fabio Capello, speaking to Sky Sport, didn’t mince words regarding the Portuguese forward from Milan.
The attacker scored a goal a few days ago while playing for his national team but has never shown consistent performances in the Rossoneri shirt.
To highlight this point, the former coach made a significant comparison with Jannik Sinner.
Fabio Capello shared his thoughts on Rafael Leao.
From the great night in Madrid against Real to the brace against Cagliari that secured a 3-3 draw before the international break, Leao has been in better form. The former Rossoneri coach, however, remains unconvinced by his mentality.
“He needs a bit of Sinner’s mindset to show him what he could achieve,” Capello told Sky Sport. “Sport is about sacrifice, doing things differently, and not settling for results.” The comparison is far from random, considering what Jannik has achieved this season, most recently winning the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin.
