Rafael Leao was pleased with his double for AC Milan in victory over Spezia.

The result maintains Milan's 100 per cent start to the season.

“I always try to help my team in any role the coach places me, whether that's wide or as a centre-forward," Leao told Sky Sport Italia.

“I like to play wide, as there's space to go one-on-one with defenders. As a striker, I am closer to the goal and have a better chance of scoring.

“I feel the coach and my teammates have faith in me, I felt that again today, I am grateful to have started the game."

He continued, “I am happy for the team, also pleased for myself to score two goals, it was a very intense match. After the lockdown, we had great performances and results, so we want to continue like this towards our objective.

“It's about taking it one step at a time. The Derby is up next, Inter have more important players clearly, but we are Milan and must try to win."
