LEÃO: "IT'S A DREAM TO BE HERE"

Today was the day for Leão, Bennacer and Duarte's presentation at Milanello. Ahead of training, the three summer signings spoke at the press conference that was shown LIVE on App as they spoke about how they felt and their objectives for the upcoming season. Here was what Rafael Leão had to say. 

THE WELCOME
“I was welcomed very well and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of this great Club. For me, it’s a dream to be here and the people at this Club have shown they believe strongly in me and really wanted me and this made the difference. I’m happy with the praise, I want to work humbly on the pitch and focus on what the Coach says.” 

THE CLUB
“AC Milan are a club that wants to bet on quality youngsters. We’re building a great team, all together we want to reach our objectives.” 

THE ROLE
“The Coach will decide my position on the pitch. I really like to move around the front in attack and provide assists for teammates. In Italy, a different type of football is played compared to Portugal. On a tactical level, the teams are stronger and more focused. I have to do well to perfect my game.” 

COMPARISONS 

“Ronaldo is a really great player but I’m uncomfortable being compared with him. I’m young and I need to work a lot to reach that level. Like I said, I like to move around and play with the team and I still need to improve further, especially in terms of finishing but that’s not all.”
