Sergio Conceiçao leaves the field with (at least) two questions. To a surely knowing how to answer: can this victorious Milan be enough on Verona for the second round with Feyenoord? Obviously not. To another, however, it is difficult to give an answer: why is not, in fact, “his”, at least by temperament? Boh, mystery. AC Milan inanella the umpteenth obscene first half – slow, boring, listless, without personality etc. etc. – and takes three vital points for the Champions League when it finally manages to raise the turns of the engine. Which evidently for the devil represents a difficulty with a scale bottom coefficient. This mystery too. And so the whistles of the Meazza at the interval are transformed into applause, but in three days it will serve much more to judge from the Rotterdam race. The basic problem is that by observing this Milan everyone expects a turning point – potentially feasible – that instead never comes.

caresses in Rafa

Then, in reality, Conceiçao leaves Meazza also with sadness in the heart because today Pinto da Costa, the historic president of the port to which Sergio was very tied up, disappeared. In the dopogara, in fact, Ibrahimovic presents himself in front of the microphones. “The coach is inside the locker room, he is very excited because his former president died, he was like a dad for him. So I speak.” And he is a smiling Zlatan, while he examines the game: “Gimenez likes to make goals and balls inside the area in this team arrive, you just have to be ready. It should also be said that it is not easy for a foreigner to joke immediately. You have to put it in the condition Just to do well. But these are all choices of the coach “. Then, a caress very, but very affectionate to the Lea: “It will always be the reference of this team, has entered and made assist. It is he who makes the difference, even when he lives not at the top he always makes the difference. Today he does He asked to enter and solve, and he did it. ” So a reflection on the Feyenoord: “Tuesday we will find a team that plays, I don’t think they will defend yourself. Obviously a top Milan will serve to make the result”.

On Sergio

And finally, an important punctualization on the coach: “Conceiçao has made 14 points so far and Napoli has made 15. We are very confident about what he is doing, the team is improving, he has not had time to prepare the matches. The Ideal it was to win with Dinamo Zagreb to have time, recover, prepare the games. This adrenaline is missing – the Swedish smiles -, for now, however, it has not happened “.
