Rafael Leao maintains Milan gave ‘the right response’ to their recent setback by beating Torino 2-0 and is embracing his centre-forward form.
The forward was on target again this evening in the 2-0 win over Torino, but will be suspended for the next Serie A match with Cagliari.
“We lost the last game against a quality opponent like Juventus. This was therefore an important match for us to stay top and I think we gave the right response,” the Portuguese striker told DAZN.
“Our mentality is to always go out there for the win and stay top of the table. We did our duty, we won, the rest doesn’t matter.”
Leao is developing into a good centre-forward, having been moved there to fill the gaps due to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ante Rebic injuries.
“I am glad that I was able to help my team by scoring a goal, but the most important thing was that we got the three points.
“I am closer to the goal when playing as a centre-forward, but I am also happy to provide assists for my teammates. It doesn’t matter where I play, I just want to help.”
