The statements of Sergio Conceição to the microphones of DAZN after the match Lecce-Milan which ended in the Rossoneri's comeback victory 2-3:
“We had a bit more time during the week to prepare the match, we prepared it well with the players committed to doing what I asked. In terms of possession, quality of play, accelerations, we created well and scored two disallowed goals. In the second half, we did not come back as we wanted, they also scored the second goal, but there the character of the players came out. I put in offensive players but maintaining the balance. I think that for the attitude of the team and for how it worked, I give my compliments to the team. The attitude was correct, I liked it a lot.”
Character must become a habit:
“It is not always a question of attitude, it also depends on the opponent. I like to work on the field to prepare the matches, it is not an excuse. Today we were more organized, and this comes from the field, from the work. I am not happy that we are out of the Champions League, but now we have more time to prepare. Then the players have character, and they must bring it out every day.”
On Christian Pulisic, Conceicao said:
“He feels good both on the wing and in the middle, then it depends on the strategy of the match. He has great technical quality and is also very intelligent, he can play behind the striker, on the wings, but in my opinion, coming inside is his position. The position then depends on the strategy.”
Conceição concludes:
“Will it be a calmer week now? Let’s see (laughs).”
