The outspoken pundit said on Viva el Futbol: "Leao can score five or seven goals, I don't care: in Cagliari the other day he was intangible. He doesn't know how to play with his back to the goal.
"The problem is the status he puts on himself and that others have put on him. You can put your numbers up your a**, I don't care about numbers: even Inzaghi had numbers and was poor.
"You know who Leao reminds me of? Richarlison (of Tottenham), he scores a few goals but he's a dud, he's disconnected from the world. Leao is a dud: he has nothing to do with the game of football."
