Sergio Conceicao is determined to continue his time at AC Milan as it started: successfully. This means that his preparation for this weekend’s Serie A fixture is as intense, if not more.
After winning the Supercoppa, Milan and Conceicao are keen to ensure that standards remain high, and this means that every detail is being paid attention to religiously with the Portuguese already implementing his strict regime.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), the coach has requested ‘maximum seriousness, application and professionalism’ on the pitch as well as off of it. To ensure that this is being stuck to, he has already made some alterations to things at Milanello.
Every morning, each player is now weighed before they sit down for breakfast, with the coach seeing physical fitness and nutrition as pivotal to any success. In fact, these are the minimum requirements for these athletes, and he will not hear any excuses.
Additionally, the coach has enforced a rule that requires the players to stay at Milanello until at least 2 pm every day, and this is done even if there is no double training session or if they train in the morning.
Certainly a strict set of guidelines already, but these are the changes that can take a struggling top team to a performing one.
Let’s see how long this lasts. Gen Z doesn’t like rules and responsibility. Eventually the usual suspects might rebel again and the wheels will fall off again.
I disagree. If a formula is bringing success which they achieved in Riyadh then the players will follow Conceição. He is a leader not a dictator like Fonseca.
Conceição wants to win and he wants to improve the players and that’s a win-win for both.
Under Fonseca Milan played for a draw against Juventus and Atalanta. That is not a winning mentality and that starts with the coach.
Fonseca just like Lopetegui was the worse choice to replace Pioli since Conceição was available last summer.
Ibra, Furlani and Moncada all should be replaced this summer as we have a squad good enough to compete for the scudetto if they had made the right choice to go for Conceição last summer which they didn’t.
Ibra wants conte but furlani and Moncada doesnt want to have some intervention from the coach like conte. That’s why they go to yes sir coach like lopetegui or Fonseca. Football believe the winning mentality from the coach will success on and off the pitch.
Haven’t seen players being weighed since the Arrigo Sacchi days. But this is how Conte gets players to be physically dominant, no condiments, no junk food, strict diet.
No condiments?
Get ready for theo and leao. You’ll never walking on the pitch.. just run and run for the ball. Hehe…
