Conceição: We Must Be Cohesive from the Start, and We Will Fight for Victory
Sergio Conceição, the coach of Milan, stressed the necessity for his team to show the right approach from the start of the match against Udinese in Serie A, confirming that the team cannot always rely on coming back to win. He stated: "Matches are won from the first minute to the last, and we must be focused from the beginning."
He also talked about early substitutions, saying: "I don't start with players just to substitute them in the first half; I read the course of the game and make adjustments to help the team."
Conceição also emphasized the importance of cohesion throughout the 90 minutes, pointing out that Milan needs to improve its performance against Udinese. He added: "I love cohesion and solidity, and the second half against Fiorentina was a reaction after a weak first half."
Regarding playing with two strikers, the coach said: "We need balance first; we have attacking players like Leão and Theo, and we can be offensive even with one striker."
He confirmed that the match against Udinese is an important opportunity to win three points, especially given the team's current position in ninth place.
He concluded his remarks by saying: "Walker was injured during team training, and Jimenez will not be able to participate at the moment. We hope to have Florenzi back to full fitness soon."
