Sergio Conceiçao introduces himself
New Milan coach Sergio Conceiçao introduced himself at a press conference: "I feel great pride, for me è a pleasure to be here working in such an important company. È a step forward in my career and that of my staff. The fans? They are the soul of the club, without them è everything is more difficult. If I came here it means that something didn't go well, we don't have time to waste since we play an important game in a few days. But we are not complaining, we do not want to look for excuses".
"The form è relative, we need to have the right spirit and quality,” added the Portuguese coach. “This hunger to get to the end of the game knowing that we have given everything to win it is not è easy. I want the players to live the game intensely, as I do and as the fans do. The boys’ eyes must shine when they enter Milanello. The team has experienced moments of ups and downs, Paulo has had beautiful periods here, others not so much. We always seek perfection, but it è not possible. For me, soccer è simple: there's one goal where to score and another where not to take it. For me, dominant soccer è this".
So he explained his choice: "In the summer I read about several teams interested in me, so many news come out. Whyé did I come to Milan? Becauseé here I have the opportunityé to coach in one of the best teams in the world. I could not say no".
"I am a straightforward person, there will always be happier players and others less so. But this è simply the management of the group. I want direct communication and maximum training. I am confident, but words remain words, only results" count.
Clear ideas on the season goal: "We will do everything to get to the Champions League, but there's a lot of work to do. I have confidence in the team, now we have to think about the Super Cup, where we will go and play our cards to try to win".
"I will talkò with the management when I need to, they can come whenever they want, always, becauseé we all want to go in the same direction: which is to get to the Champions League. Market? As first thing I want to know well first team and Milan Future, then we will see" concluded Conceiçao.
