Tijjani Reijnders has claimed that the squad did not hear from the head coach Sergio Conceicao after the defeat against Dinamo Zagreb last night.

Milan’s worst nightmare came true on Wednesday night as they lost 2-1 in Zagreb to surrender their top eight place in the Champions League. The Rossoneri dropped from sixth in the table before a ball was kicked to 13th, and now a tricky play-off tie is on the cards in February.

Dinamo went ahead in the first half after a slip from Matteo Gabbia allowed Martin Baturina to score, then Yunus Musah was sent off after two yellow cards. Christian Pulisic got an equaliser early in the second half, but Marko Pjaca restored the lead almost straight after.

Reijnders spoke to reporters in the mixed zone while exiting the Stadio Maksimir and he gave a brief comment after a difficult night.

“Our goal was to finish in the top eight, we didn’t achieve this. We have to go in the next round and fight there and keep going in the Champions League.”

It will be Juventus or Feyenoord next…

“Yes, we will see who we get and we have to be ready for that game.”

What did Conceicao say?

“No, nothing today, we’ll talk tomorrow.”

  1. Yes he was tired of preaching the team. Let’s have bed rest and train harder tomorrow. Not a single day reat like previous manager?

  2. I hope that means he’s thinking of making a change in his approach. Because since Super Cup they’re regressing rapidly. Statistics aside, their overall performance is honestly worse then it was under Fonzy.

        1. Facts! We’ve been crying since they fired Maldini. We cry because we missed some sort of competence in the organization. It wasn’t the best but we competed in the league and we got meaningful trophies. Why wouldn’t you cry, who’s happy with this??….look what they did to the club in no time at all. You on the other hand seem fine with all this nonsense.

      1. It’s a mess. Gabbia hurt now. Morata leaving possibly(which doesn’t hurt but just shows a level of incompetence). Only brought in Walker so far. Hard to see this season getting better. I hold out hope but Milan needs reinforcements.

  3. Morata is just a hard worker that’s all for me and we need goals he sucks very useless player I hope the rumours are true he needs to go honestly,having a big pay like him in our books it’s a huge loss.

    Parma striker Bony his good and young but the Milan we know doesn’t want to spent so hopeful they guy that Jimenez guy.
