CorSport: Conceicao ‘aiming’ for the Coppa Italia – why there will be a strong Milan vs. Roma | OneFootball

AC Milan have set their sights on the Coppa Italia after their success in the Supercoppa Italia at the start of the year, and a strong lineup can be expected.

Despite the league probably being the main focus for Milan, Conceicao is refusing to give his team a break in the cup, as he ‘aims’ to win the competition, especially with other targets not as feasible as once hoped.

So, Corriere dello Sport (via Milan Press) report that there will be no changes for the Rossoneri against Roma on Wednesday night.

Ismael Bennacer will, of course, be the only absentee from the derby with his transfer, but then Youssouf Fofana should be moved back into midfield after serving his suspension.

The Portuguese coach is fighting to extend his own deal with the club, and from his press conference before the Derby della Madonnina, he believes in the project, so wants to represent it in the best possible way.

So achieving more success will only boost his chances, it would be imagined. Additionally, playing more minutes in the system will only help players familiarise themselves with tactics, and given the loss to Zagreb has added more strain to the calendar, he will have less time to work on these ideas outside of a game setting.
