Milan, Sergio Conceiçao speaks out ahead of the Super Cup

Sergio Conceiçao charges Milan

Very few days after signing his contract with AC Milan, the new Rossoneri coach Sergio Conceiçao has in front of him immediately a first very important challenge, represented by the participation in the Italian Super Cup: scheduled for Friday is the (fiery) debut against Juventus, in the semifinal scheduled in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at 8 p.m. Italian time.

"I would have liked to have a few more days and have all the players available,” the Portuguese coach said in a press conference, “but it is something I had already budgeted for when I accepted the job and it will not be an alibi. We have to play with our heads held high, we are preparing the game as best we can. We can win".

It will be a special match for the former Porto coach, who will find his son Francisco among the opponents: "I am not excited, I am more chilled – said, with a smile, Sergio Conceiçao -. At home I am his father, on the field è my opponent, and I will be for him too. I want to beat him, I hope to be the one to celebrate".

Looking further inward than the Super Cup, Conceiçao confirmed what he said during his presentation regarding his season goals: "I don’t want to make predictions, I only think about results. The coach è a difficult job, the income è a lot but you must always be hungry for victories, è this is what counts".
