The statements of the Rossoneri coach on the eve of the derby: “Thiaw and cage available, but not at the top”
A derby in which we talk about everything except derby is strange regardless. But it becomes a nightmare in the case of a coach. Imagine if that coach is called Sergio Conceiçao, one who would abolish, or almost, the winter market (“I don’t like it, it remains open too long and creates something negative in the players,” he said a couple of weeks ago) and finds himself With half a team pulled for the jacket by negotiations, voices and hypotheses. All this, while there is – in fact – a derby to be prepared as an appetizer of a February to be spent in apnea between the championship, championship recoveries, Champions League playoffs and Italian Cup. And the whole while the arrival of the new center forward has just materialized. Santiago Gimenez is the big news of the day, something that further enriches the eve of this stracittadina.

And something that liquidates immediately now: “I can’t talk about Gimenez because it is not yet official”, the technician smiles. Then he gets serious: “Take market conclusions before such a game, who looks at the whole world and where we have so much to improve, I don’t feel like. If you want a press conference to speak only of the market, when it is finished, I will do it. ” And afterwards it becomes even more serious: “An entire month of the open market is too long. On an emotional level it certainly moves something, there is a whole series of things that can become dangerous. I also see many lies written, which hurt in an already difficult context. It is not easy to manage a group in a period like this. There are things that interfere and we have to focus in the best way to win the derby. For me it is important to talk about modules, football, my job is that ”.
Weakness

There is a little understandable envy when Conceiçao speaks of an Inter where “players know each other well and have the same technician for years. This makes the difference, for them it is a positive thing. They need to understand their weaknesses. However, at this level there is no favorite. ” Sergio tries to move the discussion on football played and on the opponent, but it is complicated with everything that is happening to Milan in these hours. He says about Tomori: “I count on all players. At the port I had about a dozen who played until the last with me. If I think one should play, play. I trust all and Tomori can play ”. Translated: we could see him holding him in pairs with Pavlovic (Thiaw and cage today trained today, but they are not both in optimal conditions of course), while Walker will debut on the right. Then, definitely more cryptic on Morata: “I spoke to him yesterday and the day before yesterday. When one gets married, there must be the will of the groom, the bride and also the priest … “. More than metaphors, however, Milan should look after the concrete. And in fact Conceiçao admits: “After Zagreb’s first half it is difficult to go even further down …”.
Replica

And the concept of the “base” remarked in Croatia returns: “There is a lot to improve, each coach wants perfection but we have to work here to get the base. To perfection then we think about it later. I had several clubs that were looking for me with whom I would earn ten times more than Milan, but I came here because I wanted it. At Milan you can’t say no, I came because I am convinced you can do something important. It is one of the worst moments in the history of Milan, I am aware of it. And this consciousness is the basis to start working. ” Finally, a hint to himself (“People confuse the lack of tranquility with passion. I am so, I don’t pretend, I live the games with emotion and passion but this does not mean that it is always angry. It is not a defect, It is my character. It’s his opinion, mine is another. The game has passed, you don’t need to talk about a hypothetical foul, he will have his reasons. I too have lived similar situations, we don’t only put the game on this episode because it’s not right. “
