MN: Conceicao offers Milan squad three days of rest as break commences | OneFootball

After another three point weekend, the AC Milan squad have been granted another rest by Sergio Conceicao, meaning Milanello will be quiet at the start of the break.

Once again, Milan were able to find three points from a losing position, leading Conceicao to state that he believes his team are growing. Despite this potentially having some mixed reaction, the Portuguese feels strongly about his side’s ability to continue on the up, and the fans will hope this much is true too.

With the elimination from the Champions League, Conceicao has had slightly more of a chance to work with his team at Milanello, due to the less strenuous schedule. However, he is not taking the opportunity to overwork his team.

Last week, the Portuguese offered his team a mini-rest after the win against Lecce, and after beating Como, in a very similar fashion, he has repeated his actions.

As Milan News states, the head coach has given his side three days off, meaning training will commence again at Milanello on Wednesday. However, there is a caveat to this.

Given the next few weeks are the international break, the called-up players within the squad will not be given this rest, and they will not benefit from the extra time to train with the coach. Nevertheless, Conceicao still wants the remaining 15 players to have a chance to recharge their batteries.
