AC Milan's Rafa Leao failed to impress for the Portugal national team after coming on as a substitute in the match against the Democratic Republic of Congo. The AC Milan player attempted a few plays and some dribbling, but ultimately, it was a disappointing performance. He lost possession of the ball three times out of nine touches and attempted only one dribble, which was blocked by Gedeon Kalulu. After the match, Leao defended his performance, stating that he had tried to give his best, but was unable to score or provide an assist. He also spoke about his contract situation with AC Milan, stating that he wants to evaluate everything after the World Cup. The arrival of Amorim at the club does not seem to have changed his plans, at least for now. Leao appears to be outside of AC Milan's project. Before arriving in the United States, he had stated that he wanted a new challenge and had given his all. His sentiment does not seem to have changed. The next match for the Portugal national team will be against Uzbekistan, coached by Fabio Cannavaro. Leao, barring any changes from Martinez, is expected to start on the bench again. His disappointing performance could put his place in the team in question. AC Milan will be watching Leao's situation closely, as he could be a key player for the team in the next season. The Portugal national team needs to find a solution to improve Leao's performances, which could be crucial for the team's success. Leao's future with AC Milan is uncertain, and his performance with the national team has not helped to clarify his situation. The club and the player will have to wait until after the World Cup to make any decisions about his future.
