Fever and injury and cigar... Beginning of consciousness in Milan 'Super'
AlEtihad (nprofile…yefn)
Sergio Conceição had an incredible week in his first match with AC Milan, lifting the Italian Super Cup yesterday, Monday. The Portuguese coach, who took over from Paolo Fonseca last Monday, despite struggling with illness and a high fever, sat on the bench and led Milan to a 2-1 win over Juventus in the semi-final on Friday. Milan recovered from a goal deficit to defeat Juventus, but things looked dire in the final on Monday when he found himself trailing by two goals against local rival Inter Milan after receiving a goal in each half. Conceição told Mediaset: "The team has character, and we were able to win against two great teams in the end. In the first half, the coach needs to make some changes, and that's why they drive me." The Conceição-led team showed their fighting spirit again, reducing the score to 2-2, and in the added time, the match was heading for a penalty shootout when Tammy Abraham scored the dramatic winning goal. Milan players and staff celebrated with clear emotional outbursts at the final whistle, but the coach suffered an injury and needed treatment on the bench before returning to his team. Conceição laughed: "Emerson Royal made a fatal mistake that deserves a red card. I'm extremely happy with the players, because it wasn't easy, we had little time to work on the important details for me, the credit goes to them all because they absorbed my instructions, there is still a lot of work to be done, but with humility we can do well in the Champions League and Serie A." After winning against Juventus, Conceição said he is not a nice person and doesn't smile much, but in the dressing room after lifting the Super Cup, the coach danced while smoking a cigar, as the celebrations continued. Conceição said in a press conference: "At the end of the match, the players told me I would smoke a cigar, they know I do this when I lift a title, this is my 13th title as a coach, and I'm happy with this title and it has a special flavor for me."
