Sergio Conceicao Annoyed AC Milan Held to Cagliari: We Were Lacking Enthusiasm and Were Slow

Frustration was written all over Sergio Conceicao’s face as his AC Milan side stumbled to a 1-1 draw against Cagliari in a lackluster Serie A encounter at San Siro. The result, which marked a disappointing performance from the Rossoneri, left their coach openly critical of his players’ lack of urgency and energy.

“We were slow, uninspired, and lacked the intensity required to win games at this level,” Conceicao lamented in the post-match press conference. “Cagliari played with more hunger, and that is unacceptable. If we want to compete for the title, performances like this cannot happen.”

Milan took the lead early through a well-worked goal by Rafael Leão, but they failed to build on their advantage. Defensive lapses allowed Cagliari to equalize before halftime, and despite dominating possession in the second half, the home side couldn’t break down a resolute Cagliari defense.

The draw sees AC Milan lose ground in the title race, with fans growing increasingly anxious about the team’s inconsistency. As the pressure mounts, Conceicao and his squad will need to regroup quickly to avoid further setbacks in their campaign.
