Rafael Leao proud to Pplay with Ibrahimovic

DBasia.news –  AC Milan’s young striker, Rafael Leao, claimed he had no idea he was able to play with the Swedish striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Leao said he was thrilled to be a duet with the 38-year-old striker.

Since he was imported last January, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has indeed often been paired with Rafael Leao. This decision proved effective with a series of neat results inscribed by AC Milan.

Although Ibrahimovic is often labeled as an arrogant player, Leao actually has a different view. For him the 38-year-old striker is like an older brother as he often helps him to become a better player.

 “Ibra is like a brother to me. He always helps me become a better player and you can feel the difference with him on the field. He is a tough man in the field, but outside he is always fun, “Leao told Milan TV, Friday (2/14/2020).

“I was predictable while playing, but outside of football I was a shy person. Being able to play with him is something I did not imagine before. This is truly extraordinary as a young player I had the opportunity to learn a lot from an Ibra, “he added.

In his inaugural season of strengthening the Rossoneri, the 20-year-old player has played 19 matches. He has also collected two goals, one of which was scored against Cagliari some time ago.

Interestingly in the 2-0 victory, Zlatan Ibrahimovic also contributed a goal. The goal at the Sardegna Arena was also Ibra’s first goal since strengthening Milan for the second time.
