Milan-Tare, c’è il si: l’annuncio ufficiale (LaPresse) – MilanLive.it
Milan won in a comeback and did so thanks to Rafa Leao, who returned decisive, scoring the equalizing goal and propitiating Frendrup’s own goal. So for the Lega Serie A he is the best on the field in the challenge against Genoa, valid for the 35th day. It is worth noting, however, Mike Maignan’s great saves during the first half.
At the end of the match, however, it is Rafa Leao himself who speaks, paired with Matteo Gabbia. Initially taking the floor is the central defender himself, who is asked how Milan had of yet another slap in the face to get back up “I don’t agree with your analysis,” says Gabbia addressing the DAZN reporter, “lately it hasn’t been like that. In Venice we made the first step of the game, in Udine also. Those who enter always make a great contribution, it is a team effort that must accompany us to the end.”
Rafa Leao speaks: “These last games are crucial to get as many points as possible. The coach has changed the form and we are more compact. Everyone works for the good of the team. Today those who entered made a difference.”
The Italian Cup is then discussed – “Are you getting into the final atmosphere? I always try to help the team. If I play starter or start from the bench I try to help the team. Then this one – turning to Gabbia, smiling – sometimes he yells at me, he always gives me confidence.”

Thus intervenes the defender: “Don’t worry, the Italian Cup final then you think about it, first there is Friday’s match.”
Too much criticism of Rafa Leao, Gabbia continues to respond, “He doesn’t have to listen to it, he is a very strong player. He has to listen to the coach and everyone who really loves him and wants him to get to an even higher level. He is a champion, we pamper him and he makes us win games like tonight.”
Does the Italian Cup final change the judgment on the season? “We have to try to win all the games, the sums then are drawn at the end of the year. We have to do well until the end, then we see what we collect.”
