DBasia.news – DBasia.news – AC Milan striker, Rafael Leao has set a high target in the Coppa Italia 2021-2022. He has ambitions to bring the Rossoneri to end their 19 years wait to triumph in this event.
Milan made sure to advance to the semifinals after beating Lazio. The deputy capital was defeated by a score of 4-0 at the San Siro, Thursday (10/2) morning WIB.

“We arrived tonight with a lot of enthusiasm and I thought we had a great performance. It was the right result,” Leao told Sport Mediaset.
“Now we are in the semifinals and the Coppa Italia is a competition that Milan want to win. I’m always ready to help my team with a goal or an assist, but the most important thing is that the team is through to the semifinals.”
