Conceicao refuses to over focus on Supercoppa success: “We’ll leave everything on the field” | OneFootball

Sergio Conceicao has refused to focus on the success in Saudi Arabia, instead stating that his AC Milan side must continue impressing rather than be distracted by the Supercoppa Italiana.

In just over a week, Sergio Conceicao has beaten two of Milan’s biggest rivals, winning the Supercoppa in the process. For fans, he has already established himself as a potential future great, and the Rossoneri look like their old self.

It is early days of course, but the Portuguese head coach has started in a manner that would be dreamt of, but it must be followed appropriately, rather than being a sign of something that never was.

Conceicao is very aware of this though, and in an interview with Milan TV, the new head coach admitted as much, with Milan News relaying his words.

“We are all happy for the hard work we did. There were a few days to prepare, but things went well because the boys were humble and played with the right mentality. This is only the beginning, we must continue on this path.

“As of tomorrow, however, we’ll immediately think about Cagliari. It’s a success that gives confidence to the whole group and the environment. We’ll leave everything on the field in every match.”

On his work…

“The credit goes to everyone, I found people who want to win and who work well. We must continue like this. The taste of victory must give us even more desire to win, no relaxation.”

On the comeback…

“I am very satisfied. At half-time we changed a couple of things. We took two blows at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second, but the team showed great character.”

On the cigar after the game…

“It’s my 13th title as coach. I had a great desire to return to win in a country like Italy where I did very well as a player. This club deserves it.”

His words will only add to the excitement of the fans, who have already taken a love to him after the result and his reaction on Monday night.
