After the end of the game, the head coach of the “Rossoneri” Sergio Conceisan commented on the performance of his own team.

“I’m really happy for the boys because it was a very tough game. The conditions weren’t the best for us and we only had a few days to work on some aspects that worried me after the semi-final match. But somehow the boys learned everything.

Yes, things are not going well at the moment and we still need to improve some aspects, but if we continue in the same spirit we can have four fantastic months aiming to fight for a place in the Champions League zone, which Milan should stay in based on the results season

We fixed some things in defense and attack. But two shots were missed between the end of the first half and the start of the second half. However, for us, the comeback means that the team has character because they managed to face two very strong opponents.

If we want to be compact, all the links are important – there has to be a little distance between them, and I know we can play even better. We have to be brave and if we want to become the same “great Milan” again, we have to work.

We have collected intelligent guys who immediately grasped everything, but we still had little time to prepare for matches.

Leau? He is a phenomenon, I have known him for a long time, he is a real head boy, not like me. He could be the strongest player in the world because he has what it takes. But he still needs to figure out some of the things he needs to do on the field.

He has great potential, and if he puts it at the disposal of the team, it will become even stronger,” said the Portuguese specialist.

Milan will play their next match at home against Sardinian Cagliari in the championship.
