Italian media: Leo has no conflict with Allegri, he is positive about the latter s criticism

According to reports from Milan News Network, Leo has a positive attitude towards Allegri's criticism and has no conflict with him.

This morning, "Gazzetta dello Sport" published a news saying that after Juventus' 1-1 Milan game, Allegri "severely scolded" Leo in the Milan locker room. According to reports, the AC Milan coach criticized Leo's attitude during the game in front of some players, especially the several missed scoring opportunities against Di Gregorio.

Although this conversation was not long, the tone was very direct. According to what Milan News Network learned about the situation, it can be summed up by the sentence "It's time for you to wake up." There is no doubt that the bitterness brought about by the failure to win (Pulisic missed a penalty kick and Leo missed two good opportunities) also affected the communication between Allegri and Leo.

However, it is reported that there are no signs of conflict or relationship breakdown between the two, and they have always maintained good technical cooperation and personal relationships.

Regarding this matter, Milan club executives also participated in the discussion, including director Tare. The atmosphere of the talks was said to be very calm and constructive, with management reiterating a clear position: Leo is still considered a core player in AC Milan's plans, and all the preparations he made since July until he suffered a calf injury against Bari on August 17 cannot be easily dismissed and ignored.

Leo's physical condition against Juventus

It is necessary to review a key fact, that is, Leo played against Juventus in a less than ideal physical condition. Even in the game against Naples, Leo's playing time has exceeded expectations, which even Allegri himself admitted.

The away game against Juventus was actually the game that Leo participated in after fully participating in joint training in the first week after recovering from injury. As we all know, Leo is usually in poor form after returning from injury.

Leo's response and future

It is reported that Leo has a positive attitude towards Allegri's criticism and is not disgusted with it. He is currently training with the Portuguese national team and preparing for national team games. He also knows very well that when he returns to Milan, he must improve his condition and improve his rhythm in order to regain the starting position he has worked hard to win this summer.

In addition, the existence of S-Jimenez and Nkunku also constitutes additional competitive pressure, but it is certain that there is no so-called "Allegri and Leo contradiction" within Milan. Everything is under control.
