Former France international Marcel Desailly says Joao Felix is not the type of player that can turn things around for AC Milan.
Recall that the Portuguese star is on loan from Chelsea and is yet to make a good start to life at AC Milan.
Speaking with Sky Italia, Desailly stated that Felix lacks character and not techniques.
“I am disappointed, as Milan are today a mix of many different problems,” Desailly told Sky Italia.
“The season started badly, then there was a moment where they thought it was turning around, but everyone quickly realised this team lacks the leadership to be competitive. All the sides ahead of them in the Serie A table have a very clear philosophy.

“Just look at Inter, who for years have assimilated the 3-5-2 system and now play by heart. I don’t think Milan have less individual talent than Inter, but they lack chemistry.
“Sergio Conceicao’s arrival didn’t change much, as the Supercoppa win created expectations that were not fulfilled. I really thought he might be the right person to get the best out of the talent within the squad, but that wasn’t the case.”
“I don’t think it’s an individual problem, because Milan have many good players who unfortunately just don’t complete each other.
“You see Rafael Leao, Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic, Santiago Gimenez, Tijjani Reijnders. All have quality, but no real leader, nobody who stands out. This is what Milan need.”

It is not only AC Milan but also Super Eagles who have no leader. A Stephen Keshi kinda leader is needed in our team. Thanks Desaily.
