AC Milan coach Pioli: Leao does well in training - but not in games

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admits frustration with Rafael Leao after their 1-1 draw with Salernitana.

Olivier Giroud struck for Milan on Monday night while Leao was again ineffective.

Pioi said afterwards: "Being close to my players is my priority, when things are going well or badly. Leao's strange situation is this: in training he does very well, he moves a lot and very well, everything, and then in the game he does something less.

"He has to find a middle ground.

"There was a lack of quality and players in the area. It's a question of position and of accompanying the action better. We had to manage the second half better.

"Definitely a disappointment, this wasn't the game we wanted to play."
