Rafael Leao has told the press that \u201ceverything has changed\u201d at Milan with the arrival of new head coach Massimiliano Allegri, as he claims that \u201cthis year Milan will be a real team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of Thursday\u2019s pre-season friendly against Perth Glory, with quotes via Gazzetta.it<\/a>, the Portuguese winger was also complimentary of the Rossoneri fans that have turned out in support of the club in Australia: \u201cThere really are a lot of them and you can feel their support. It is very nice for us to play in this condition. We are very happy to have received this welcome and we will try to repay the fans with a good performance against Perth.\u201d<\/p>\n

After praising the fans in Australia, Leao went on to answer a question about the current state of the team, claiming that \u201cWe have an experienced coach who has already won here at Milan.\u201d Leao continued, \u201cWe are a young group, with a few experienced players who have been here for a long time. We are building the team, with the right spirit that helps even when we are not playing well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Sporting and Lille forward also revealed that \u201cEverything has changed compared to the past. I feel that this year Milan will be a real team. We have important players who can make the difference but, above all, there will be a great team spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is clear that Milan are trying to do things differently, perhaps taking a more sensible approach to the way they manage their squad and conduct business.<\/p>\n

Allegri joined the club this summer alongside former Lazio sporting director Igli Tare<\/a> and the club have worked on some sensible acquisitions. Samuele Ricci looks to be settling in well at the club whilst the Rossoneri continue their search for a new centre-forward.<\/p>\n

With Santiago Gimenez still on holiday, Leao has been playing in the central attacking role. In the meantime, the club have been linked with a move<\/a> for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.<\/p>\n
