The public desire to separate from Milan has generated a wave of criticism: “This way it depreciates itself”. But there are also those who defend him
If Leao’s public farewell to Milan somehow caught the Rossoneri club and the player’s entourage by surprise – in ways, but not in substance, the same cannot be said of the fans. Scrolling through reactions and comments on social media, the main ingredient is not amazement, but confirmation of what most people thought of Rafa. As if to say: here, for those who hadn’t yet understood, this is Leao. In short, not exactly a certificate of esteem.

For example, many accuse him of inconsistency, recalling how the Portuguese has always expressed words of love for Milan, a love that is difficult to find in the ways in which he communicated to the world his desire to separate from the Devil. In fact, the revisable timing is the main accusation leveled against him, since placing himself on the market at the end of May is also equivalent to self-depreciating. Or rather: his salary remains the same (indeed, it could be destined to increase), if anything it is the club that is put with its back against the wall and finds itself weakened at the table of potential negotiations with other clubs. “For what happened between Milan and Rafa, I expected a slightly better farewell”, comments one user, “it’s something that certainly puts Milan in difficulty”. However, in the eyes of many people, this situation should not be placed on the shoulders of the player alone, because “there is a power vacuum in the club, the club is weak and difficult situations are the consequence”.

His were words that “seriously depreciate one of the players with the greatest economic value available”. Then there are those who instead limit all reasoning to the perimeter around the number 10. “Little professionalism and zero attachment to the shirt”, we read several times, “inappropriate and disrespectful statements for the fans, typical of a spoiled child who only thinks of himself despite the troubles he’s in”. Another fan reflects: “He put all the post-Pioli coaches in difficulty”, while there are those who, perhaps better than others, condense the sentiment general: “The thing that is annoying is that this declaration has only one effect. Hurting a fan base that is already desperate.” However, there is someone who defends him, and they are not even very few: we know, Leao has always been a divisive character and he confirms this even while the credits are rolling.
