Costacurta: Milan plays better without Leo, the team is not a whole when he is on the court

Costacurta was a guest at the Italian Sky Sports studio today. He talked about Leo, who was replaced by Allegri at halftime in the away game against Atlanta early this morning.

Costacurta said: "Milan played better without Leo. We can evaluate forwards in different ways, but the team concedes more goals when he is on the court. This is an objective fact that will be debated now and in the future. When Leo is on the court, Milan is no longer an 11-man team."

Costacurta also talked about Modric's superstar strength and personality: "Boban has been recommending Modric to us for 25 years. I said at the beginning: 'He was okay, but not the best. 'He became Mr. Ballon d'Or. We are talking about a star, a very outstanding person. He has been a star for many years. In a league like Serie A, his performance is extraordinary."

"Leo and Jimenez? The performance was very bad. Although Jimenez did not score before, his overall performance was good and he created many opportunities for the team, but he performed very poorly today and failed to control the ball and did not provide support for his teammates. The same is true for both of them. In fact, Milan really played like a team when the two of them came off the field.
