Milan, this time Sergio Conceicao è satisfied

È a quite serene Sergio Conceicao the one who appeared in the press room after his Milan’s comeback success in Lecce: “I saw one of the best first halves of the league. We had 4-5 chances and scored two goals that were cancelled out. Little to do”.

“We worked on Lecce’s weaknesses and got a goal on our own mistake. We played between the lines with Pulisic and Musah, and we created problems for the opponent without scoring goals. In the second half we suffered the double, the changes gave something more. I say bravo to the boys who believed in it until the end”.

” I feel like working, we have to be more balanced in terms of dynamics, otherwise we risk on every restart. We worked on small things that we were not analyzing with the group for the close games. Normal that I am not happy about getting out of the Champions League, but this is all part of the team’s evolution”.

“We played with three midfielders, with Musah we were taking their midfielders, we wanted to take away confidence from the opponents, and we stayed compact as a team. Leao è a great player, he always has to start the game, but you need to work on games and for one reason or another he doesn&#39t start as a starter. Even from the bench he wants to give his best, and I like him more than when he makes an assist or scores a goal”.
