When asked about the prospect of Champions League qualification, Milan manager Sergio Conceição remained firmly grounded on the here and now as he prepares his side to take on Como. “We are all in this together, focused on our evolution as a team. Our recent results have indeed shown improvement. But right now, our priority is the next match, which is bound to be a tough one against a well-organised Como side. There’s no sense in gazing too far into the future. We’ll sort out the standings once we’re past this hurdle,” he remarked, with the enthusiasm of a gaffer ready for battle.
The Rossoneri are keen on securing yet another victory following their success over Lecce. This time around, they may have the luxury of starting Rafael Leão from the kick-off. “Rafa is undoubtedly one of the finest talents in Serie A, perhaps even on a global scale. He and I have had open discussions; our communication is direct and honest. We share a fantastic rapport. He’s extremely committed and prepared to give his all for the team, whether it’s from the first minute or right to the final whistle,” Conceição added with palpable pride in his star player’s abilities.
