In the lead-up to the Serie A match between Como and Milan, head coach Sergio Conceição shared his thoughts in a brief interview with Sky Sport. This match marks his fourth official game at the helm of the Rossoneri, and Conceição made it clear that he is focused on results rather than discussions.
When asked about his communication with the team, Conceição stated, “I haven’t talked about the last match. We hope today will be different; we need to improve in many areas, and we have been working hard. Let’s hope for the best.” His emphasis on improvement reflects his commitment to turning around the team’s fortunes.
As for the significance of this match in terms of their season, he bluntly remarked, “Talking doesn’t count; we need to get results. Is that clear?” This straightforward approach underscores his frustration with pre-match interviews and his desire to prioritize performance on the pitch.
Conceição also expressed his annoyance regarding discussions about past games, specifically referencing the previous match against Cagliari. He said, “That game is behind us; I don’t like talking about it or doing these interviews just before a match.”
On player selections, he confirmed that Ismaël Bennacer would start, saying, “It’s important; he plays for that reason. I have a plan in mind, and he is part of it.” He acknowledged that while he considers various strategies, his primary focus remains on the team’s overall needs.
