"The first contact with Maldini was not the easiest. When he first arrived, he took me aside and said: "You're playing for the sake of social media photos, that has to change, otherwise you'll always keep scoring two goals a season." He was right, and he was also right to talk to me like that," Sky Sport Italia quoted Leao as saying.
This season, Leao has played 32 matches for AC Milan in all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing eight assists.
