Especially four offensive players –Rafael Leao, Santiago Gimenez, Christian Pulisic and Joao Felix—Hag has carried the importance of expectations in San Siro, each with moments of magic but no one escaped full review.
Pulisic has undoubtedly been the brightest of gang, score 15 goals and helps 10 to In what has been his most productive club season so far. Gimenez, signed from Feyenoord in January, Started strongly with three goals in their first games, but have not been given goals since February 18 And now struggles both form and fitness. Meanwhile Felix, on loan from Chelsea, announced himself with a debut goal but have since faded in the background, with reports suggesting Milan will not run a permanent deal.
Then there is Leao. The most enigmatic of them all, according to some.

The price carries weight. This is not a joke or a coach who speaks – it is Ronaldinhoa man dazzling in red and black from 2008 to 2011Point 26 goals and provides 29 assists in 95 performances. His impact with the red and black batch was almost legendary, and for him to exclude the Portuguese wing is no small compliment. “He’s a fantastic player,” The 45-year-old continued. “He is one of the players I enjoy looking at most.”
Season of heights and lowness
Leao’s number this season – 10 goals and nine assists in 43 performances – assuming a solid contributionBut they don’t tell the whole story.

His inability to deliver in important moments has even led to Temporary benches under both Paulo Fonseca and Sergio Concepticao.
Still only 25, the wing’s mixture of beat, style and creativity can still an attractive asset for Milan. Yet questions remain: Can he become the leader that the club imagined? Or will he join a growing list of talents that never really fulfilled his San Siro promise?
