The fever is passing, the result of days full of stress after arriving in a stormy moment and immediately leaving for Saudi Arabia. But Conceição he's not the type to be stopped by the flu, proof of which is the fact that after a few minutes against the Juventus he took off his jacket and began to lead his team from the sidelines to the sound of shouting. Like those he didn't spare during the interval of the semi-final, the key to turning the game around and taking the final against them l’Inter:
“I hope the team is better than me – said Conceicao in the conference -. We are preparing for the match, Inter is a strong team, used to winning, with the same coach, with players who have played together for a long time. It is a good thing for them, we have to think about ourselves: it's all difficult, but in difficult times we all have to be men, we can't forget that many fans are watching us. We can't even forget that we have 4-5 players who aren't at the top do I feel the match against a former team of mine? I have respect for all the teams I have played with, the feeling is the same regardless of the opponent: I have the same feelings for my players, I really want to prepare things well, so that they can beat a strong team the most important thing we have in mind, the basis must be our ambition. There are two games to win a title, we have taken one step and we must take the other: we hope it goes well, we have confidence.”
And during the press conference Conceiçao responded angrily to the question “do you feel lucky to start with a final?”. The answer is one that does not go unnoticed: “Luck doesn't come if you don't work. Are you a Juventus fan who asked me the question about luck?”.
