Milan is visiting Lecce at the Via del Mare stadium for the 28th matchday of Serie A 2024/25. They are seeking redemption after three consecutive defeats against Torino, Bologna, and Lazio, which have significantly jeopardized their chances of qualifying for the next Champions League.
Amidst this, the situation involving Sergio Conceicao’s spokesperson has further strained the atmosphere in recent days.
Shortly before kickoff, Milan’s technical director Geoffrey Moncada spoke to DAZN, providing the following statements.
THE SPOKESPERSON SITUATION – “The coach spoke with us, and everything was clarified. There are no problems between us. We work together every day and have a good relationship. I am always at Milanello with him and Ibrahimovic. For us, everything is clear. The important thing now is to focus on the match. For once, we had a full week of work and we worked well at Milanello, calmly.”
A NEW SPORTING DIRECTOR ARRIVING: WHAT IS CURRENTLY LACKING AT THE CLUB? – “I believe that the role of a sporting director is important in football. If there is someone who can help Milan, yes, we are evaluating it. But without any stress. The role of the sporting director is important.”
HOW MUCH DOES REACHING A EUROPEAN PLACE IMPACT THE FUTURE? – “It is important because we still have eleven games left. I don’t think it’s over; we must continue. Every game is a final. There is also the Coppa Italia with the derby. We still have a lot to play for. We are not happy, we are angry, and we are working to get back to a good level.”
HOW MUCH IS CONCEICAO PLAYING FOR HIS FUTURE TODAY? – “We are here to win. We are with the coach, we have total confidence in him, and we work with him every day.”
