Italy legend claims former Leeds United target 'afraid to play' after stuttering start

Legendary former AC Milan boss Arrigo Sacchi has claimed that Charles de Ketelaere, who was targeted by Leeds United in the summer, is 'afraid to play' since completing his switch from Club Brugge.

De Ketelaere is still chasing his first goal for the club and has had to settle for a place on the bench in his last three Serie A matches. Sacchi, who won the European Cup in back-to-back seasons with I Rossoneri in 1989 and 1990 respectively, believes the pressure is getting to the young Belgian international.

"These days, he is a confused boy. You have to be patient. He's afraid to play. He comes in with anxiety of having to prove his worth. I hope can start to show his qualities," Sachi explained to Gazetta dello Sport.
