As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, the evasive Conceicao gave two mini-interviews a few minutes before the game against Como last night, and they really were short. The Rossoneri coach took his leave very hastily from the Sky and DAZN cameras, preferring not to stop for a long chat.
To one, he said: “Talking doesn’t count, I don’t like talking or doing these interviews at the start of a match, we have to get a result. Is that okay?”. At the end of the match, the issue of speaking before games became topical again.
The Portuguese added: “I was boiling, I live the match like this, passionately. In 13 years I’ve never done an interview before a match, I’m not used to it. I don’t even talk to my family two or three hours before a match.
“There are other rules here and I have to get used to it. Those at the club should talk more before the match, I should talk less because I’m nervous, I’m already in the match…”
Perhaps Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paolo Scaroni, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada should take note: the coach they chose does not like being put in front of the cameras before kick-off.
