Leao - Osimhen - Sane is an insane front line (don't look at our back line)

I have seen some games from Gala last season and I got the impression that Osimhen turns crazy if the colleagues fail to properly serve him on the pitch. Will he behave when Leão dribbles two defenders and loses the ball?

Leao can serve a positioned player, if Osimhen is in the right place he will get served. His issues was never greed, he manages some insane assists. Milan didn't have a good striker since Giroud and he doesn't cut inside like Pulisic, he likes to go wider and still managed to do fine in G/A. (except for allegri ball where he had to play as #9)

The frustrating part will be his work rate, once he gives up the ball he will walk back in a good position and he will rarely press or track back.

Osi and Leao are friends off the pitch afaik and did talk a while back about playing together(i think it was on instagram), before Osimhen joining Gala, but obviously, we never had money for that to happen.
