The Rossoneri thus clinched the final of the Italian Super Cup and will play for the trophy against Simone Inzaghi’s Inter on Monday. Protagonist of the match was once again Christian Pulisic, the last man standing. Also decisive were the entries of Tammy Abraham and Matteo Gabbia, but especially that of Yunus Musah, who propitiated the second goal and gave a big hand in the defensive phase.
Conceicao is clearly pleased with his team’s success. A united team as the pictures in the finale show: “You need passion in life. Soccer is emotion. The boys deserved after the second half done. In the first I saw a Milan like a few weeks ago. We were too slow, at halftime we talked trying to understand what needed to be done. The boys were brave, now we need to rest.”

LEAO’S RETURN – “Let’s see if he will be in the group the day after tomorrow. Today he did close to the work he needs to return, tomorrow he won’t be with us yet.”
HUGS WITH SON – “I was happier than him since I won, but that’s part of life (laughs, ed.).”
DOUBLE CENTERS – “It can be done, we did it in the second half. Morata comes a lot in support, the wings in the first half though didn’t do what I wanted them to do in terms of depth and that’s not good, that’s why we were nonexistent in attack.”
TURNING UP AFTER THE FIRST HALF – In the locker room I certainly didn’t give kisses to the players. I got a little angry because we didn’t do what we had prepared. I have a humble group, sometimes there is a lack of good nastiness, which we will find with time. I am not very nice, but the footballers need good words, but also that I get angry. The important thing is that we work well, because Milan is a quality group. I am happy because the team has accepted a coach who is not very nice. I am not here to make friends, but to win.”
