The Rossoneri's Portuguese head coach, Sergio Conceicao, spoke to the media in the Milan 0 - Bologna 1 post-match press conference.
In the other matches, your Milan had its fighting spirit...
"Disappointment for a title lost. Disappointment for everyone, for us and for the fans. It was a competitive match. We could have scored two goals in the first half and we didn’t do it. They created chances from set pieces. In the second half, we should have done a little bit more. Then there was very little play: substitutions, players on the ground. Typical of a final... I don’t want to take away credit from Bologna, but there was little play. Also some refereeing decisions... I don’t want to look for excuses. A man can also make mistakes. Typical match of a final: whoever scored, was at a great advantage to win."
What about your future? Conceicao answered:
"I understand the curiosity, but I have many thoughts about this match: the choices I made, what worked and what didn’t. I haven’t started in football two days ago. Right now, my head is on understanding what didn’t go well today. There’s nothing to do because we lost, but we have to finish the season with dignity. Then, afterwards, we’ll talk."
Could this club have done more?
"At the end of the day, I think I have given everything I could give. Today I could have done a little bit more, but after the match: after the match, we’re all clever. The analyses must be done afterwards. We’re always judged by results. I have to do my analyses and those who work at Milan will do theirs. Then, it can be said that the context and the environment were not easy. The pressure is strong on everyone. In the end, the accounts must be settled."
Are you the only one responsible?
"It’s not important to go hunting for who is more responsible. Surely I am the leader of the team and I put my face on it. Since I arrived here, I have tried to do the best I can."
