“I thought Rafael Leão wouldn’t go far, he didn’t seem to want to play”

Juraj Kucka, ex-Parma and Milan, highlights the evolution of the Portuguese striker, who now considers himself a world-class player

Juraj Kucka , midfielder from Slovan Bratislava who will face Milan with Paulo Fonseca and Rafael Leão this Tuesday in the Champions League , recalled that he did not see a great future for the Portuguese striker, who he now sees as one of the opponent’s threats.

«They have a lot of quality in terms of forwards. I really like the way Pulisic plays, Leao is also very strong. When I was at Parma, I thought Leao wouldn’t go far, but he changed something in himself and became a great player», he said in the preview of the game.

“I used to see him walking around the pitch, it seemed like he had no desire to play. Now he has changed and has become a world-class player. The only one I played with who is still at Milan is Calabria,” added the player, who in his past in Italy, in addition to Milan and Parma, also represented Genoa.
