There are two most common ways to start a soccer game. Or rather, three: there are teams that prefer to go for the traditional touch backwards, circulating the ball to the defense, there are teams that like to risk long kicks to one of the bands as if it were the start of a rugby match and more and more teams want to take possession in the opposing midfield. This Sunday, AC Milan risked a fourth path, an evolution in relation to the third hypothesis where instead of having a ball in the opposite bastion in the parallel, they manage to do it vertically. It went right. Better was impossible. And so history was made this afternoon in Serie A and in the five best European leagues, it would arrive a few minutes later to be confirmed in official terms.

Rafael Leão, 21-year-old under-21 international who arrived on set rossoneri Last season he received outside the area, went forward without fear diagonally, straightened the ball and shot with his right foot without chances for Consigli, Sassuolo goalkeeper who has been one of the best transalpine teams this season. All in less than six and a half seconds, in what is a record in the Italian Championship and that was achieved by a Portuguese player who was talked about during the week but for reasons other than the best.

Following the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAD), which ordered the player to pay Sporting 16.5 million euros for the unilateral termination of the contract in 2018 plus 1.4 million interest (and Sporting to pay 40 thousand euros for the practice of intimidating the player), the lions advanced with a running action which has already made two contributions in Portugal, for a total amount of around 37 thousand euros. The player’s addresses have also been mentioned in France, where he played for Lille, and in Italy, where he plays now, in addition to any awards he may receive from the Federation. The forward has also presented a request for the nullity of the sentence, and being a decision made by the CAS, it has no suspensive effect on the sanction that was applied. The Observer revealed the content of the sentence even in March, in a story with several chapters until the exit is even consummated.

Arbitral Court of Sport rules in favor of Sporting: Rafael Leão must pay 16.5 million for dismissal

If it weren’t for a pizza delivery, Leão could be in Alvalade, the TAD Trial that forces the player to pay Sporting 16.5 million

Regarding the game, in what would be one of the most difficult days so far, AC Milan reinforced their leadership in Serie A with a 2-1 away victory. After Rafael Leão’s goal, Belgian Alexis Saelemaekers scored the second in the first half hour of the game (26 ′) and the most the visitors managed was to reduce the disadvantage to a minute from time by the inevitable Domenico Berardi. In what was the ninth game of the Championship (and third goal, which adds one more in the Europa League), the Portuguese forward contributed directly to the ninth win in 13 AC Milan games, that even without the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he remains in first place with one point more than his rival Inter and four more than the champion Juventus.
