GdS: Conceicao’s impact ‘barely seen’ as Milan remain ‘disorganised’ and ‘ugly’ | OneFootball

The defeat against Dinamo Zagreb highlighted an ugly reality for AC Milan – there has not been much change since Paulo Fonseca’s departure.

When one Portuguese replaced the other, there were immense amounts of hope placed on the immediate advancement of Milan. Instead, though, nothing much has changed. What is more worrying is that Sergio Conceicao already seems tired of the situation.

As Gazzetta dello Sport write (via Milan Press), the Rossoneri were ‘disorganised, ugly, who went down and, left with 10, risked being doubled several times, drew and then conceded the final 2-1’. In other words, the performance was anything but what was required.

At 1-0 down, there was still hope that the Diavolo could earn a comeback, just due to hope of following the Conceicao pattern, but on this occasion, the head coach could not conjure another miracle.

This highlights a huge issue with the squad. Mentally, there is something lacking. Consistency has been the word all year, and under Conceicao, nothing has changed in that regard.

In fact, the paper writes ‘apart from the Super Cup (certainly a merit, even if it came thanks to several favourable circumstances) and apart from rants, catchphrases, half-fights, from the point of view of the game and organisation, the Portuguese’s hand is little seen’.

Of course, an immediate change in fortune was unlikely. However, the lack of progress is worrying and it may suggest why there are so many players being linked to moves away today. A revolution is needed.
