The defeat came after a tough Coppa Italia final loss to Bologna last week, which was a difficult pill to swallow for the players.

Conceicao acknowledged that the team struggled with the mood after the final, citing various incidents throughout his five-month tenure that didn't go in their favor.

These incidents, he said, were often caused by the team's own mistakes or those of others, which ultimately worked against them and in favor of their opponents.

Conceicao expressed his disappointment with Santiago Gimenez's red card, which made the game even more challenging for Milan.

He believed that the team had the potential to win the match, especially after dominating possession in the first half, but ultimately ran out of steam.

The coach pointed out that they had opportunities to score with Luka and Rafa, but ultimately conceded a crucial goal on a set play.

Conceicao emphasized that he is self-critical and recognizes that the team's performance was not perfect, but he also highlighted some positive aspects, such as winning the Supercoppa Italiana and reaching the Coppa Italia final.

However, he acknowledged that the team's performance in key games was inconsistent, leading to a disappointing season for the historic club.
