Simon Kjær about Rafael Leão: "He has an incredible ability to set up goals for people and be vital in the final third and get past people. And then he has a speed that... yeah, I’m not sure anyone can keep up when he gets going.

If I have to be a little tough on him, it’s also about time soon. He’s now had the time that he needed. So I also expect Rafa to take over and progress. It’s no use to keep talking about that potential. Now the potential has to come out and it has to be consistent. He has all the people around him to support and help him with that."

"I’m not sure anyone can keep up when he gets going."
