The words of Conceiçao

Sergio Conceicao exults to Mediaset microphones after doing so with a cigar in his mouth even in the locker room: "I am very happy for the players, it was not easy and the environment was not at its best. We had a few days to work on important details for me, we faced two great teams. Credit to the players, who absorbed everything we went through. There were mistakes, there'è a lot of work ahead of us and they are aware of that. We have the Champions League and we have to finish in the top 4, where Milan has to be. We have celebrated, from tomorrow head to work".

"What strings did I touch at halftime? Two/three things defensively, also in the offensive phase we had to improve. We took goals from throw-ins and in the second half è came the 2-0 after a not good reading. the team has character, è managed in the end to win games against two great teams. At halftime the coach has to change certain things, for this I get paid".

"If we want to be compact, all departments are important and little distance is needed between them. I know that the defenders we have and also the midfielders can do better and they must have courage. If Milan wants to become great again, they have to have hunger and courage. For me è very important, the articulation of the defensive line is not easy. We have little time, but they are intelligent players. Congratulations to them, who understood what they had to do to win".

Comment on Leao: "He's a phenomenon, I have known him for a long time. He è a relaxed Portuguese, I more tense. he has to learn two/three things, but he can be the best in the world. He has everything he only has to understand two/three things he has to do on the field. He has so much qualityà if he puts it to the service of the team he canò become really strong".
