I will decide my future within a month, the important thing is Milan

Sergio Conceição, the head coach of AC Milan, spoke about his team’s victory over Venezia with a score of two goals to none in the match that took place as part of the Italian league.

Conceição said: “It was not an easy match after the victory in the cup derby against Inter Milan; it was essential to maintain focus, and this is a key factor in winning matches. Venezia is a team that has fast players and is distinguished in individual confrontations. Winning here was not easy and was necessary to give the team more solidity.”

He added: “Conceição is not what is important now; the important thing is Milan. I am working here with my coaching staff seriously. Sometimes teams go through losing periods, and this is normal. Within a month, I will announce my decision regarding my future, as I also have some personal ideas.”

Regarding Jimenez’s performance during the match, Conceição commented: “Jimenez knows that he is not in his best physical condition right now. He immediately told me that the match went well and that his goal was important. He has to continue working to improve his performance for the benefit of the team. We trust him and his capabilities, as we trust all the players.”

The Portuguese coach also touched on the team’s overall performance, saying: “We are Milan, and it is no longer just about finishing the season among the top four. It is important to finish the season honorably, especially after the shaky image we presented in recent months. We needed to improve our defensive performance. I am not a fan of this current tactical system, but I have to adapt to the team and the players’ capabilities.”

In conclusion, Conceição spoke about the team’s starting lineup, saying: “We prepare for matches based on the players’ readiness. It does not matter who starts the match; what matters is the group and team spirit. The players are wonderful as a team, and sometimes they are too nice.”
