Following the match, Sergio Conceição, the head coach of Milan, made important statements to the press.
Conceição said: “Often, the small details are decisive in matches. I was very pleased with the collective performance and the solidity shown by the players. We faced some difficulties in the early minutes due to Inter’s counter-attacks, but in the end, we managed to score and impose our style.”
Conceição praised his standout striker Luka Jovic, stating: “Jovic has been performing excellently in the last three or four weeks, and he has lost some weight, which helped him regain his form. He provided us with the quality we needed in this match.”
He added: “Jovic, Abraham, and Jimenez have different characteristics, and I choose among them based on what each match requires. They all work hard and are committed. In the second half, we delivered a fantastic performance, which is the level we sometimes struggle to reach in the league.”
Regarding Christian Pulisic’s performance, Conceição said: “He had a good match and made a significant sacrifice for the team. He lacks some vitality when possessing the ball, but I understand that given the pressure of the matches.”
He continued: “I love football and live it even at home. I am very happy with this result.”
Conceição concluded his statements with a clear warning to his players: “We must remain humble and focused. We have not won anything yet; we still have an important final ahead of us, and in the league as well, we need to improve our level because the team has more quality than what has been displayed so far.”
