“In my first game, I found that street football is very different from academy football.”

“I used to play ball every day when I was a kid. Sometimes I didn’t even get food or breakfast from my parents.”

“I only came home at dinner time with dirty pants. In fact, the new sneakers my dad bought me were already being used.”

“Football was my dream and despite everything, my family gave me the tools to make it a reality. They have always stood by me.”

“I couldn’t focus on education because I was chasing a dream. In the middle of some classes I had to go out for training. I didn’t have the school life that most had.”

“After all, when you grow up in a tough neighborhood, it’s practically impossible to see: nobody looks at you, nobody wants to look at you,”

“Everything I do today, through football, music, fashion, I want to show all the kids in my neighborhood and similar areas that they can do it, whatever their background. However, one thing is fundamental: we must never forget where we come from.”

“In any case, the music will remain a joy and a moment to share with my historical friends, I do not live it and will not live it for the purpose of making money. It’s not a job. But for my brand, the situation is different.”

“The first two years in Milan were difficult, I came from France, where everything was small and life was very different. When you get to Milan you know you want to be a winner, many legends have worn the same shirt as you, won many trophies.”

“For this reason, those who shared those moments with me now want to give me a chance to live peacefully, without worries. And that’s why I always keep my feet firmly on the ground, because I know very well that fame and success are fleeting, especially in football, where one moment you’re the best and the next you’re the worst. You need to have the right support and great mental consistency.”

Rafael Leao’s addiction to football made him fulfill his dream and with the help of his parents, he was able to become an important player for his country.
