Sérgio Conceição project details

The new Milan coach, Sérgio Conceição, presented his objectives at a press conference: “I'm proud. It is a pleasure for me to work in such an important team. For me, it is a pleasure, a source of pride, a step forward in my career and that of my team. The supporters are the soul of the club. Without them it is difficult to live and grow, and we must respect these values ​​and in this sense work and prove that we are worthy of Milan. If I'm here, it's not a good sign, it means something is wrong. There is not much time to work on the match against Juventus. We don't complain, we don't make excuses. My situation with Porto was not an easy exit. For me, timing is not important. In the summer, every week there was a club interested in me, they always talk, that's normal, because they come out with news that we can't control. For me, Milan's timing was not important. It was very fast. Why did I come to Milan? I coach one of the best teams in the world. I couldn't say no even if I had other situations that I respect a lot.”»

He continued: “I arrive with my convictions in terms of work and tactics. The system is not so important to me, but the dynamics on the field. Then there is a strategy, a basis, work on the principles: the team must understand them. The dominant game? For me football is simple, very simple: there are goals and you have to score goals and not concede any. If domination play means anything else, to me it means getting results. Possession of the ball, tiki taka: for me tiki taka is putting it inside. Everyone has their job, we communicate every day. Today I spoke with the nutritionist: I like to get into all areas. But it's my job. I speak to management when necessary, we are all there to work in the same direction. We all want one thing: for Milan to reach the Champions League, and there is already a trophy to win. We are Milan»
