The Rossoneri suffered a defeat yesterday away to Torino, partly due to mistakes by two individuals. The first was Maignan, who caused Thiaw’s own goal by kicking the ball straight at the German defender. The second was Pulisic, who missed a penalty.
In the second half, Conceicao’s team managed to equalize through Reijnders, but the joy lasted only two minutes before Torino regained the lead with Gineitis.
After the match, Sergio Conceição stated in the press conference:
“Errors a bit like those in a circus. We do our job, and I take full responsibility, in front of you and all the fans, because they are the face of the team. Then, inside the locker room, each of us has to take their own share of responsibility. Pride and the desire to reach the end of the season—this is something I genuinely feel. We could talk about this for ten hours, and it would always be the same thing.
Together with those at Milan, we look each other in the eye and try to understand what isn’t working. It’s not worth discussing attitude. Attitude towards what? We’re out of the Champions League, and now we want to reach another objective with determination and the need to work even harder. We go home, knowing that tomorrow there’s training, where we have to give our best. That’s the only way the road will become easier.”
