Sergio Conceiçao announces another absence with Juventus

Sergio Conceiçao presented the big match with Juventus in a press conference: “There is balance, they are two strong teams. Two teams that have very interesting players, but all matches are different. Tomorrow we have to face a team that had a good game against Atalanta, we for what we have in terms of time are working on small things that for me are big things. But we have little time, there are many games, important games. Until the beginning of February we play Champions, league and Coppa Italia. We have to be ready, we have to have the right attitude to get to our goals”.

In addition to Morata being disqualified, the Rossoneri coach will also have to do without Pulisic: “He is out, I don&#8217t feel like bluffing. He still has some discomfort, but I don&#8217t want to risk it. It&#8217s nothing serious, but if he plays about 20 minutes he risks aggravating his situation is I don”.

“I do not like the January market so much: it is open for too long and always creates in the players emotions that are not positive – added the Portuguese -. The group should be balanced. The most important thing for me today is not the market. After the game: I am talking with the management. You know that it is not easy to buy players who can give something more to this group. Time with there&#8217s time. We try to talk to each other and we agree on what we want”.

“Band to Maignan? I saw that there was controversy about the captain sash. But for me that is not important. Everyone has to talk. I made the choice, but they don&#8217t have to worry about it; Mike has to worry about not taking goals and then he also has his personality, which I like, because he&#8217s a winner. Theo the same, he has surpassed a legend like Paul and he is a great player. For me it is a pleasure to coach them”.

“I talked to Leao today, he has an incredible ability on physical tests. There are indications on that, he can do much more at this level. And I work on that. Inside his game he will definitely improve the numbers-I don’t want him to be happy with 10 goals, he has to aim to score 20. He knows what he has to improve, I talked with him about it. Now going to the field is difficult because there are too many games, he has understood what to improve on and it&#8217s a good start for me” he commented on Leao.
