The Devil's Pride: Conceição Stays Focused on Europe as Milan Aims for a Strong Finish

This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport has a headline that rings with determination: “The Pride of the Devil. Conceição won’t relinquish hope for Europe; Milan needs a strong finale.” Despite swirling rumours of his inevitable departure at the end of the season, Sergio Conceição remains laser-focused on the task at hand—securing a victory against Como tonight at San Siro.

Though the season for Milan hasn’t unfolded as fans had hoped, the race isn’t yet run. There’s still the Coppa Italia to vie for and a chance to claim a coveted spot in Europe through league play.

In yesterday’s press conference, Conceição asserted, “Are we still thinking about the Champions? We fight every day for transformation, which is vital for the team. If we improve on the pitch, results will follow. Right now, we’re concentrating on the present; we have an important and challenging match against Como ahead. There’s no need to dwell on what’s next; we just need to put in the work each day, and it’s clear that there’s joy in that effort, even when we’re pushing ourselves hard. The lads are in good spirits. The group is in good shape. They’ve provided a fantastic response over these past two weeks. We must continue on this path, and then we’ll sort things out later.”

As the anticipation builds for tonight’s clash, all eyes will be on Milan to see if they can galvanise their spirits and provide a fitting finale to the season.
