"The team resumed training yesterday and this was the first time the group had met again since the defeat to Lazio. Massimiliano Allegri and his staff analysed the performance at the Olimpico on video, something that always happens, regardless of the result. Yet, it's clear that the less than positive performance against Sarri's team provided much food for thought."
"This aspect particularly unsettled Rafa, who was very annoyed in the second half when his team-mate failed to feed one of his vertical runs, and he was equally fired up when he left the pitch, as both Mike Maignan and Allegri tried (in vain) to calm him down."
"Yesterday, however, Pulisic and Leao reviewed some of the offending actions in front of the video and, with a cool head, reflected on the choices they made and their attitudes. That's why Leao apologised both to the USA international and to the team. The matter was then settled on the pitch, with a handshake."
Following Milan's defeat to Lazio, Leao and Pulisic experienced tension during the match and in the dressing room due to poor coordination and missed opportunities. When the team resumed training, the two players reviewed video footage of their mistakes, reflected on their choices and attitudes, and resolved their conflict. Leao apologized to Pulisic and the entire team for his behavior. The incident demonstrated the squad's unity and commitment to quick resolution, with both players now focused on bouncing back against Torino. Their partnership, despite different personalities, remains grounded in mutual respect developed since becoming teammates in 2023.
