AC Milan director Ibrahimovic: Much more to come from Leao – if he believes
Ibrahimovic insists the Portuguese forward has world-class potential but needs to be more confident in his abilities.
He told DAZN: “I've always been proud of him. When I met him he was a child, now he is more mature and he is the footballer. There are moments and other moments, now he is having a good time.
“We support him, help him and motivate him to always perform well. As a footballer he has to make the difference, he is one of the best in the world and he has to prove it.”
The Swede also commented: “I think he doesn't know how strong he is. If he understands, everything will come out. There is pressure on him because he is one of the strongest, otherwise we wouldn't have been talking about Leao.”
“Balance is necessary, it depends on the character of the player. The player also has the responsibility to do more, but everyone is different. With experience he has to find the switch to do things and he does.”
