Geoffrey Moncada, AC Milan's technical area director, spoke to DAZN ahead of the match against Genoa.
Here are all his statements:
What kind of test is tonight?
"It’s important, Genoa is a difficult ground. It’s a good match to prepare for the final, it’s important to win because it always gives confidence."
What kind of work is needed to bring back calm among the fans? Moncada answered:
"Last year it was an incredible match with Olivier in goal, it was a satisfaction for everyone to win. To return to that level, we need to work, we know our needs. We have clear ideas, we know what we have to change and do better for the future."
Is Sergio Conceição playing for confirmation by winning the Coppa Italia?
"It’s not like that. We have faith in him. He has brought the right mentality. He is a hard worker, he works a lot every day at Milanello with his staff. The Coppa Italia has nothing to do with it, it’s a different matter. We’re doing well with him."
How is Rafael Leao? Is the benching just a technical choice?
"Yes. On Friday we play a tough match at San Siro against Bologna. But also today, and Ruben is playing: he’s doing well, he’s physically back in good shape, and it’s important to see him play a match."
