Sergio Conceiçao knows he can do no wrong. And he announces an absence
The words of Sergio Conceiçao
After being eliminated from the Champions League at the hands of Feyenoord, AC Milan will be called upon to make a maximum effort in the league to achieve qualification for the next Champions League, so as to at least partially salvage a decidedly negative season so far. Speaking at a press conference, Rossoneri coach Sergio Concei ao wanted to emphasize the importance of the upcoming challenge against Paolo Vanoli’s Torino.
"With Torino will be without a doubt a decisive challenge for us. It's a difficult team to face, which lost to Bologna after seven consecutive useful results and has always put Milan in trouble. We have the obligation to take the field with the right attitude and face each match as if it were a Champions League final" began the Rossoneri coach.
"Theo è an asset of the club, he has given so much joy to the fans. He knows that he put the team in trouble and we talked about it in the locker room. I also make a lot of mistakes. He è a professional and has always given everything, so he will be available to play tomorrow like the rest of the group. We won’t be able to count on Walker, Pulisic doesn’t have the 90 minutes in his legs and Gimenez is better, but not yet in top condition. Playing every three days, always decisive matches, since we cannot afford to draw, it is not è easy to manage everyone's strengths, continued the former Porto coach.
"In soccer there's good and bad. And after each game you start thinking about the next one. The elimination cost us so much and they were very hard days, but today I saw the group very focused. We knew we were stronger than Feyenoord, we had prepared the match well, then we lost because of episodes and details. Also due to our fault we don’t have much time, but è it is fundamental to correct the mistakes made in the two Champions League matches. Now we have to think about reaching the fourth place in the league and the Coppa Italia" added the former Lazio player.
"Torino has many interesting players, like Ricci for example. In the approach they have every match I see a team that wants to get positive results. We will have to take the field in the best condition and with the will to take charge of the game from the beginning" commented Sergio Conceiçao.
