bell for more such amazing content here's raphael looking for another one it's a penalty
absolutely brilliant once again from raphael unbelievable that is why he's so highly rated
when rafael layout first made his transfer from lille to ac milan for the fee of around
30. lovely ball from romanian raphael yao in the clear to give miele the lead
rafael liao stretching his legs going through the gears acute deflection and leads there were
rafael is currently one of the fastest players in syria
with his gliding pace that is reminiscent of
a gazelle with his strides that boost him up the pitch
opportunity crossing in but it's gone straight on goal and it's ended up in the back of the net
and liao with a cross that became the perfect chip add that with the fact that he has the
best dribbling in the league it's almost impossible to defend him one-on-one in space
no wonder leading serie in successful dribbles completed with 57 so far with 25 matches compared
to last season when he only completed 34 dribbles and 500 more minutes of football there have been
multiple occasions where players are incapable of controlling him so another player has to come help
it's a brilliant goal from finally some compulsion finally a cool head in front of goal and it's
raphael who makes the breakthrough fairly out fairly out with the strike deflection and it's it
this opens up so much more for the other milan players and allows him to create
multiple chances which have resulted in six assists across all competitions so far
once
last year rafael was playing up top as an out and out striker but moving out
to left wing and attempting more take on has been key for his success in 2021-22
and just age 22 his finishing is not quite at the level of a top-class player
but it has improved throughout three seasons since leaving lisbon
they now again stamia takes him on the outside and the second time liao flashes one
raphael now the angles
don't want to leave him in a one-on-one at the early shot from liau
his tallies are six seven and ten so far across all competitions
brings it down what a goal by rafael is there anything the young portuguese can't do
here he is now for his second glorious drop of the shoulder and he puts it on a plate for shiru
that goal all about raphael liao and his unique gifts as a footballer
bit flats the house through chips the keeper rafaelial unstoppable
surpassing his previous goal tallies already and his goal contributions across all competitions
this season rafael has surged into the position where he's of already becoming one of the top
attacking players in syria in fact rafael scored the fastest goal in serie a history this season
when he netted against sasuolo inside of the opening 10 seconds
rafael is a key piece to the milan core if they hope to get back on top
of europe where they once were 15 years ago and with multiple
teams interested in his services the club has deemed him to be untouchable
as they have started negotiations with his agent jorge mendes to extend his contract through 2026
which will see him enter his prime and hopefully become a regular with the portugal national team
definitely with more minutes and a solidified spot on the left side of the milan attack
rafael has the opportunity to become one of the biggest threats around
a bit more confidence and experience raphael can be one of the best players in the world
profit dell takes a risk liao goes down it is a penalty
