JAKARTA - AC Milan coach Sergio Conceicao admitted that he made a mistake that made the team slump. Conceicao stated that he learned from his mistakes and hoped Milan would rise against Lecce in the Italian Serie A match, Sunday, March 9, 2025 in the morning WIB.

Conceicao made no mistake. However, the coach who was brought in from Porto admitted that the mistake made Milan not move from the middle board in the standings.

Yes, Milan lost three consecutive defeats in domestic competitions. Finally, Milan, who played at home, had to admit Lazio's lead 2-1.

The defeat left the Rossoneri stuck in ninth place with 41 points. Milan are already 11 points behind with Juventus who are ranked fourth or in the Champions League zone.

This is what makes Conceicao face pressure. Moreover, Milan have also been eliminated in the Champions League. They were only able to survive until the playoffs and failed to qualify for the last 16 after being eliminated by Feyenoord.

"I did make mistakes like all the coaches did," said Conceicao.

"Based on the principles and dynamics of the team, I actually have my own characteristics in the team. And, I'm trying to make the best decisions. Throughout this career, I feel more satisfied than disappointed," said the Portuguese coach who replaced Paulo Fonseca's compatriot in December 2024.

"From the results achieved, there are two important things: working optimally and playing as a team more than ever. In addition, we also have to minimize mistakes, especially our own mistakes and disadvantages in matches," he said.

"There is no other way to do it. You just need to believe it. You believe you can achieve it. It is also important to work with all players Until now, it never happened," he said.

"If you don't have the motivation and enthusiasm to play for Milan, it means you have a problem. Here, we should no longer need to talk about desire and motivation because it will appear when wearing this jersey," said Conceicao.

Conceicao is optimistic that Milan will rise against the bottom team Lecce at the Ettore Girardiniero-Via del Mare Stadium. "We have to focus on being able to control the game. In this case, the player is responsible," he said.
