There is more than one aspect to improve in the Rossoneri team-a fact that makes a bit of a negative impression.
Milan, il punto debole di Sergio Conceicao: nessuno peggio di lui in Serie A (Ansa Foto) – MilanLive.it
Sergio Conceicao has not yet managed to convey his footballing ideas and mentality to Milan. Only at times has a team in line with his footballing beliefs been seen. Playing so many close games has not helped him.
Since he arrived, the Rossoneri have played every two to three days, and last week was the first “clean” week of work he was able to do at Milanello. Being out of the Champions League, the schedule has lightened, and now the Portuguese coach has more time to try to affect his group. Como arrives at the San Siro on Saturday, and it will be an opportunity to try to take steps forward from the recent match won in a comeback against Lecce.
Milan, un dato statistico preoccupante
The team has several flaws and Conceicao will try to intervene to correct each situation. Defensively, distractions and individual mistakes are often paid for, certainly more concentration is needed. At other times, however, balance is lacking and Milan finds itself exposed too easily to the offensive sorties of the opponents.

According to what Calcio Datato has highlighted, in the last two Serie A championships no coach has suffered from counterattacks more than Conceicao. And it is not a problem of having too many offensive players, since in Lecce both Rafael Leao and Joao Felix started from the bench.
Among coaches with at least 10 benches, no one has conceded more expected goals (0.25 per game) than him. In second place is Fabio Pecchia (0.19), recently exonerated by Parma. Then there are three coaches at 0.16: Kosta Runjaic (Udinese), Vincenzo Italiano (Bologna) and Alessandro Nesta (Monza). At the bottom of the ranking are Maurizio Sarri (0.03), Jose Mourinho (0.04), Luca Gotti (0.05) and Marco Baroni (0.05). Simone Inzaghi and Gian Piero Gasperini are both at 0.07, while Massimiliano Allegri at 0.08 as are Stefano Pioli and Antonio Conte.
There will be work to be done at Milanello, Conceicao must prevent his Milan team from over-exposing itself to opposing counterattacks. These are situations that the team is suffering a lot.
