AC Milan have set their sights on the Coppa Italia after their success in the Supercoppa Italia at the start of the year, and a strong lineup can be expected.
Despite the league probably being the main focus for Milan, Conceicao is refusing to give his team a break in the cup, as he ‘aims’ to win the competition, especially with other targets not as feasible as once hoped.
So, Corriere dello Sport (via Milan Press) report that there will be no changes for the Rossoneri against Roma on Wednesday night.
Ismael Bennacer will, of course, be the only absentee from the derby with his transfer, but then Youssouf Fofana should be moved back into midfield after serving his suspension.
The Portuguese coach is fighting to extend his own deal with the club, and from his press conference before the Derby della Madonnina, he believes in the project, so wants to represent it in the best possible way.
So achieving more success will only boost his chances, it would be imagined. Additionally, playing more minutes in the system will only help players familiarise themselves with tactics, and given the loss to Zagreb has added more strain to the calendar, he will have less time to work on these ideas outside of a game setting.
Someone knows maybe…winner of Coppa Italia goes in Champions League. I’m not updated with new regulations.
They qualify for the Europa League, not the Champions League, unfortunately.
Thanks for answer
Still only qualifies for the Europa League I believe.
Hope this article ages like wine and not like milk.
Milan should be competing for ALL trophies. This foolishness of finishing top 4 is not the level of a club with Milan stature.
I like Conceição mentality. It’s a pity we didn’t get him last summer instead these no ambitious bozos going for Lopetegui and Fonseca.
Chill mate. Conceicao can only do so much.
We got handicapped in the league by decisions that Ibra and his cronies made in the Summer.
If we go far in UCL, win the SuperCoppa and also the Coppa Italia along with making Top 4 (or 5) to get into UCL this season, then he’ll have done his job well enough.
I’m positive we will make top 4 forza milan
