Leao states Milan ‘felt at ease’ thanks to Conceicao’s tactics: “I created danger” | OneFootball

Sergio Conceicao made a few tweaks for the game against Udinese, and AC Milan were paid back handsomely, with three points, four goals and a five-star performance.

It has been a tough season, but when Milan have shown up, they have often been brilliant, and that was the case once again in Udine. The Rossoneri started poorly, but made a few chances here and there.

However, when it mattered, Rafael Leao got the team firing, with a beautiful first-time strike on the edge of the box, struck without a hint of hesitation.

After his goal and assist, Leao spoke to DAZN, via Milan News about Conceicao’s tactics.

How did you find this formation?

“Very good, I found the movements up front, I created danger, those up front looked for me a lot. The coach found a good strategy defensively, and also in attack, we felt at ease.”

How did you manage to find yourselves ninth? What was missing?

“The details. We showed that we entered focused on all aspects. Away against these teams is difficult, these things make the difference.”

The winger also spoke to Sky, via the Milan News.

Are you comfortable with this formation?

“Yes, in my opinion, yes. We are more compact, there is one more man to defend. And then up front, we are freer to attack. I feel good with Pulisic, with Luka Jovic and with Abraham, who came in well. We can do well.”

You have always dreamt of scoring away from home in the league…

“It’s been a long time since I scored at San Siro, but I don’t enter the field with that obsession. I’m happy for the team for today. I send a thought to Maignan. It’s always strange here. When we entered in the second half, the fans made a bit of a racket. This victory is for him.”

Friday’s display was as good as we have seen the Portuguese all season, if not beyond that, and it shows that he still holds the keys to be the star when he turns up. Perhaps, moving forward, the solution is in the system.
