AC Milan has reached the Supercoppa Italiana final thanks to the 1-2 win against Juventus., Sergio Conceicao, in his debut as the Rossoneri coach and in less than a week, secured his first victory.
It wasn’t achieved through a brilliant technical performance but certainly with a display of pride.
The Portuguese coach spoke to Milan TV after the game. Here are his statements:
How satisfying is this result?
"It was difficult under these conditions, in just three or four days. Still, as I said before the match, we don’t make excuses, we put our heart, ambition, and determination into it. In the end, we won it. The first half wasn’t great, but the second half was much better at every level."
Can this Milan aim for big goals? Conceicao replied:
"Yes, there is a lot of quality here. Juve has individual and collective quality, but so do we. We needed to execute what we had prepared in terms of organization: in the first half, it felt like the Milan from a few weeks ago, with doubts, poor defensive timing, slow ball movement, very little depth, and a midfield that was too sluggish. We made changes at halftime and adjusted our attitude. We need courage."
