One Day Serie A News: Milan's New Coach Is Strict, What About the Double Olympics? Inter Milan Enters Championship Mode
1 - Conceicao Praised for His Strictness
Former Porto player Fernando Nelson Alves spoke to Sportitalia about Milan's new coach, Conceicao.
How do you view Conceicao becoming Milan's new coach?
I believe his arrival will be positive for the Milan club. It was Conceicao who helped Porto continue to compete for the championship in recent years, despite the team's lineup being weaker than in previous years under his leadership.
Are there some issues in Milan that seem to be related to discipline, would Conceicao be the right person to restore the team's discipline?
Without a doubt. For him, the desire to fight, the spirit of sacrifice, rigor, and discipline are essential qualities. He demands these qualities from his players; he is a demanding coach. If they don't respect him, then Leao and Theo are likely to be sold.
2 - Tomori Approves of Milan's New Coach
According to Di Marzio, Tomori may regain space under new coach Conceicao.
There were previous reports that Milan might sell Tomori, who was set to lose his place under Fonseca's plan, to Juventus. However, with Fonseca's departure, the situation has changed.
It is reported that Milan has chosen to hire Conceicao as Fonseca's successor to coach the team, and Tomori may regain space (fair competition with other teammates, or even become a starter) under Conceicao. With the change of coach, Tomori may stay at Milan. However, before making any decisions, Conceicao hopes to personally understand the players and evaluate them during training.
3 - Motta Doesn't Even Consider Milan Captain
According to Pedulla, Calabria is not a target for Juventus.
According to previous reports, Calabria was linked with Juventus because his contract expires next June and he will not renew, making him a target for Juventus to sign for free.
In response, Pedulla wrote: "This is an exaggeration. Juventus is not interested in Calabria, there has been no contact, and there will be no contact. On the contrary, Como has made a very specific offer and hopes to sign Calabria in January."
4 - Inter Milan Arrives in Saudi Arabia
