For the Champions League match against AC Milan, Porto's coach Sérgio Conceicao, said the following words to the media in his press conference:
"We can also not win the game. However, we cannot lose our identity, ever. I hope the boys can play a good game and win. Tomorrow will be the most important match, the other two have passed. The closer we get to the end of the group stage, the more important the matches become. Tomorrow, regardless of the result, nothing will be decided, but we want to make a good performance in front of an opponent that everyone knows, who is one of the most successful clubs in the world. We have to keep the concentration and emotional level of the players high."
On his defender, Mbemba:
"He is fine. He can be an option for tomorrow's game. Every hour that passes is important for his recovery."
Conceicao on AC Milan:
"Milan is very strong. They did not lose one match in the league and they already played against Juventus, Atalanta and Lazio which are clubs that play in Europe. They are a very strong team, they could have won both against Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. I don't think that absences, even if important, can upset the dynamics of the game, Milan has young people of the highest quality."
On Ibrahimovic:
" I don't know if he will play or not. However, no team depends on a single player. Obviously we know the characteristics of Zlatan, he is powerful, has physical and technical qualities beyond the average. A point of reference for world football. As well as our Pepe and other players of great value and experience."
"We know how Zlatan plays and what we need to do to counter him", said the Portuguese coach, "We like to face the best players in the world and Zlatan is one of them. I know Pioli but I haven't talked much about him, I talked about the team he coaches. Whoever defends better can win."
