AC Milan’s performance against Newcastle United in the Champions League this week is still the subject of comments in the Italian media.
With the Rossoneri creating many chances to score and still drawing the match 0-0, many people believe there was a bit of carelessness with their opportunities.
Some new quotes today emerge on TuttoMercatoWeb Radio, where agent and former player Massimo Brambati spoke about the game. The quotes come from Il Milanista.
Specifically talking about Rafael Leão’s play against Newcastle, the representative went a little over the top to say how he’d have reacted if he was on his team.
“After you’ve lost a derby 5-1 and you can redeem the team you can’t do that. Had I been a teammate I would have slapped him in the locker room.”
The main reason the Italian media are disappointed about the situation is that a home match against Newcastle was supposed to be a good chance to add three points, because there are still the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint Germain to be faced in that group.
From Newcastle’s point of view, it’s probably hard to say it wasn’t a good result after such performance. Their next Champions League clash is against PSG at St. James’ Park.
