Conceiçao after Venice-Milan: “In a month I will tell you what I want”

Sergio Conceiçao continues to make an appointment in May, and to the eye is not to organize a year -end party. Even after the victory in Venice, Milan’s coach heard questions about his future and made it clear that he did not want to talk about it. Not now. “It is not important Conceiçao at this moment, Milan is important. In a month more or less I too will say what I want. There can be that I also have other thoughts, how to go on vacation in Algarve in Portugal for ten years …”. And again: “We think about the championship, we try to win against Bologna, then what happens to me, to Allegri or others does not concern me”. It is clear that he does not like rumors about the next Milan coach – logical, they would not like anyone – and he does not like the idea that he is not confirmed by him.

the boat and the palm trees

Milan in Venice played an orderly but certainly not perfect game. He won 2-0 but risked more than once. Conceiçao recognizes the difficulties and talks about … palm trees. This is strange: “Knowing the group, the one he showed this year, last night I didn’t sleep well. I knew I had to come here in Venice and it wasn’t easy at all. The water, the boat, only the palms were missing: it was a different environment”. Okay, in Venice you get to the stadium via water but in short, none – seriously or with a joke – had ever talked about it at the end of the game. “Venice is a team that presses a lot -continues Conceiçao -. It has its qualities, plays directly, has fast players in front. We could close it before, the last step or the conclusion on goal was missing”.

The three -way defense

AC Milan thus looks more closely to the Europe area but, unless surprises, nothing will change in the standings. The only spring goal is the Italian Cup final. Conceiçao said he did not agree with Fofana, who had pointed out how nobody in Italy can still win two trophies: “We are at Milan and two cups are no longer important than the first 4 places. Here the objectives are clear, then there are years that are not good like this”. The road, then, for Milan-Bologna of the Italian Cup is Chiara: ahead with Jovic when it is well, to give morale to everyone and manage the free weeks to get the most tired players-Pulisic, Fofana, perhaps Reijnders, perhaps Leao-in the best conditions at the final of May 14. Ah, continue with the three -way defense: “Di Francesco said that we are very strong at the offensive level, so on a defensive level we have to improve something -says Conceiçao -. I am not a fan of this module and this system, but I must also adapt to the Italian championship, the team and the characteristics of the players in front of me”. For his beloved 4-4-2 there will be time. Elsewhere, maybe.
