Milan boss Sergio Conceicao after scuffle with defender Davide Calabria: “If I have a son who misbehaves, I tell him” | OneFootball

Serie A giants Milan grabbed a dramatic 3-2 win over Parma but it is what happened after the game that attracted a lot of attention.

The Rossoneri were 2-1 down by the 91st minute but things changed quickly as Tijjani Reijnders equalised and Samuel Chukwueze made it 3-2 in the very last minute.

After the final whistle, Conceicao came rushing towards Calabria and nearly came to blows, before being separated by the club’s staff, as he was seething with rage.

After the game, the manager stated that players are like family to him and if his son misbehaves, he will be told about it.

He said, as relayed by MilanNews: “I watch the games and listen to them with a lot of passion. There was a bit more adrenaline. There was a game situation that I spoke about with Calabria and there were a few words too many in my opinion. For me, all footballers are important, like a family. If I have a son who misbehaves, I tell him.”

“And here it’s the same. There’s no hypocrisy: we tell each other things like men. True, it wasn’t nice, but that’s normal in football, we’re not in church. We’ve made things clear. Sorry for the delay, but I was already planning tomorrow’s work”

Something similar was echoed by Calabria, who said that the misunderstanding between the two has now been sorted out and it was purely out their passion and adrenaline after the game.

More details are yet to emerge but it does seem as if the two have made up well.
