AC Milan coach Sergio Conceicao has defended his decision to field four attacking players in their 1-0 Champions League first-leg defeat at Feyenoord, admitting he had to find the right balance for the Rossoneri. The Rossoneri
started their away game with Santigo Jimenez, Rafael Leao, Joao Felix and Christian Pulisic all in the starting line-up, but fell behind after just three minutes and could not equalise.
Conceicao was questioned after the game byหรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล studio pundit Fabio Capello whether he had underestimated their fifth-placed opponent in the Dutch league:
“I would never think like that. I have full respect for everyone in football. If today were the Champions League final, we would have prepared the same team,” the former Porto coach began.
“When the game is over, everyone can analyse it perfectly. I know people are confused about the four attacking players, but we also have seven players left. “
I am the one who is responsible for finding the right balance for the team and we have to go back and work on that. We all have to improve ourselves. “
I have a team with great technical quality, now we have to add other important qualities as well, which is difficult but not impossible. “
We already know that the atmosphere will be intense and that the opponents will try more at home, but this atmosphere should make us more determined, not less. “
We had a chance straight away from Reynolds at the start and then conceded a goal with a mistake that can happen in football, but we had a chance to equalise and we should have done more. “
However, our Champions League is not over yet, the second leg is still open and, of course, on Tuesday we need to react.
