Milan Back on Track
This Sunday, Milan celebrated a victory in Serie A, defeating Venezia with a score of 2-0 in the 34th round, temporarily placing them five points away from the European competition spots. Following a week of positive outcomes, including securing a spot in the Cup final, coach Sergio Conceição was once again questioned about his future.
Coach's Future Comments
In response, Conceição emphasized, "At this moment, the important thing is not Sergio Conceição, but Milan. In a month, I will also say what I want. Maybe I will have other thoughts, like going on vacation to the Algarve in Portugal for ten years..." He continued, "Let's focus on the championship and aim to beat Bologna. After that, what happens to me, Allegri, or others is not my concern," as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
Match Insights
Regarding the match, he stated, "Venezia is a team that applies a lot of pressure, it has its qualities, plays direct football, and has fast players up front. We could have closed the game earlier; we lacked the final pass or the finish to score."
The American player Christian Pulisic scored in the fifth minute, while Mexican substitute Santiago Giménez netted a goal in the 90+6th minute, marking the 15th victory for the rossoneri. The Portuguese international Rafael Leão played until the 71st minute, and his compatriot João Félix came on in the 88th minute.
Standing and Upcoming Matches
Just four days after eliminating city rivals Inter from the Coppa Italia final, where they will face Bologna, Milan responded well to their previous 0-1 defeat against Atalanta in Serie A. They solidified their ninth-place standing with 54 points, five points behind Lazio, who holds the last spot for next season's continental competitions and will face Parma on Monday to conclude the round.
