"I had dinner with Max a month ago. He told me that Leao is a special guy, a unique player who needs to be worked on, especially mentally, because he's a very strong player. He can become a leader."
"He needs to try to express himself and give that something that perhaps he doesn't have inside himself. That's the point. I think you can get a lot out of a guy like him."
"Allegri also really likes Gimenez, but he's having a lot of problems right now... let's hope he can find a way out."
Massimiliano Allegri is a strong admirer of Rafael Leão and views him as a special, unique player who requires targeted mental development to reach leadership potential. Leão has moved into a front-two role and has already adapted to various attacking partnerships, producing five goal contributions in the last five games. Gimenez has struggled since his transfer from Feyenoord, remaining on zero league goals and facing speculation about a possible January sale. Allegri values Gimenez but acknowledges the player's current problems and hopes that the striker can recover form and find a way out of his slump.
