Sporting scorer against Marseille gets “advice” from AC Milan star | OneFootball

Paulo Simão continues to receive many "advice" from his brother Rafael Leão, a player who was trained at Sporting's Academy and now shines for AC Milan. The player was highlighted after scoring the winning goal in the last UEFA Youth League match, and the newspaper Record spoke with the family of the green and white star.

"I was very happy to see him enter the field. It was really good, truly. It was very emotional (...) His brother Rafael [Leão] gives him a lot of advice, telling him to focus on what he really likes, encouraging him to make his own path," began to explain the mother of the two players.

Rafael Leão and Paulo Simão's uncle, who was also at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy to watch Sporting - Marseille, confirms this version: "Rafael often talks on the phone with Paulo, and when he comes to Lisbon, he is with him. It's natural that they talk about football."

Most of the tips, however, come from the players' father, who recalled the fact that it was Paulo Simão's debut in the competition: "Before the game, I gave him some encouragement. I told him to play as if this were his first and last game in the Youth League."

"It was a good debut. Scoring a goal right away was very positive," continued the father of Paulo Simão and Rafael Leão, who revealed that the player was "happy" and "joyful" at the end of the match, further explaining that "the father, the mother, the sister, and the uncle, are all to be congratulated."
