Milan, players and fans crazy about Conceicao: “A leader”

Some fans on social media have already renamed it “Conceicao effect”. The art of getting Milan back on its feet in a week, beating Juve and Inter in the space of a few days (in a comeback) to bring an unexpected and cinematic Italian Super Cup to Milan. Sergio Conceição the new Rossoneri coach, has inherited a team in great difficulty. But he immediately did his best to change things.

Conceicao and the players

The first to show appreciation for the new direction were the team’s symbolic players. Above all, Theo Hernandez e Lion. “We played a very good game – explained the French full-back to Mediaset after the success against Inter -. I had a difficult time, but I’m getting better now. I’m not 100% yet and what I can do is help the team like I did today. Fonseca left also through our fault, we are grateful to have had him and I wish him the best. With Conceicao we had little time, but we did well“. Nice words also from the Portuguese number 10, who arrived in Malpensa in the morning and spoke like this: “It was a team match, we all did a great job and we are very happy. The coach brought us another energyas I said yesterday. We absolutely felt a change.”

Already crazy Conceicao fans

The arrival of the new coach was also appreciated by a large part of the Rossoneri fans, who on social media appreciated the change in spirit of Conceição (in addition to the iconic cigar, smoked in the locker room after the success against Inter and which has already become a cult). A strong character also from a character point of view, judged to be the right man at the right time today at Milan: “The good ones don’t need time, you recognize them immediately” writes for example a user on X. “In 3 days they overturn Juve, they overturn Inter, they overturn Milan.” And again, explains another Rossoneri fan: “Conceicao, since he arrived, has not yet been a coach. He was 100% a leaderexactly what we needed.” Grit, heart and willpower. Thus the Portuguese coach took the helm of Milan and gave the club the fiftieth trophy in its history. Winning over the players first and then the fans. Not a bad start.
