What did Concessau say after the willful victory of "Milan"?

In the latest round of Serie A, AC Milan hosted Genoa and secured a hard-fought 2–1 victory. After the match, head coach Sérgio Conceição praised his players for their spirit and character, calling them the true heroes of the win.

“Although we started with one tactical formation, we decided to switch during the game based on what we saw on the pitch. As a coach, I’m paid to observe and make decisions. But not always does the coach decide the game — today, it was the players who did,” said the Portuguese manager.

Conceição emphasized the team’s unity and mentality:

“We focus not only on tactical improvement but also on individual player growth, psychological state, and team spirit. Mistakes happen during games — today’s conceded goal was one of them, and we’ll work on that.”

He also praised his substitutes:

“Our bench players stepped in and filled the gaps. Jiménez and João Félix increased our attacking power. This success came from their skill, not my tactics.”

He added that the team’s mental strength will be crucial in upcoming matches:

“Our team showed its character again today. That determination will help us in the title race. When players align with the coach’s philosophy, success follows — and that makes me happy.”

Since joining Milan, Sérgio Conceição has made a clear impact. The Rossoneri are now considered strong contenders for the Serie A title, and his pragmatic, balanced approach has given the team renewed energy. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
