AC Milan striker Santiago Gimenez would benefit in the Rossoneri's attack from the internal problem involving coach Massimiliano Allegri and Portuguese striker Rafael Leao, who allegedly had a heated argument after the 0-0 draw with Juventus of Turin.

The above was reported by the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, which highlighted that after the result against La Vecchia Signora, the sought-after Italian strategist criticized the performance of the Portuguese attacker with whom he is not very happy, especially for his attitude after Allegri opted for Gimenez.

Gimenez, after a slow start and several criticisms from the same coach, has begun to gain confidence and prominence in the Milanese forward to the point that he caused the penalty that the American Christian Pulisic missed and was close to scoring two goals that would have ended up consolidating his long-awaited starting position.

Leao has not seen much action due to a problem in his right calf that has only allowed him to play a few minutes against Napoli on September 28 and last Sunday against Juventus, but in this last game he left the AC Milan coach unhappy, especially because he sacrificed Gimenez when he was having one of his best games.

These factors caused a short circuit between Allegri and Leao, to the point that the DAZN cameras captured a moment during the game in Turin where the Portuguese forward approached the coach and the coach angrily replied "Don't bother me", and later in the development of the action the Portugal national team striker missed a clear chance to score a goal, provoking the anger of the strategist.

For now, Santiago Gimenez seems to have a clear field in the starting lineup, with Christopher Nkunku in substitution mode, causing the competition to become complicated for Rafael Leao, especially due to the 3-5-2 formation they use,where there is only room for one striker to pair up front with the American Pulisic, which is why the Mexican striker seems to be the best option.
