- AC Milan lost 1-0 to Feyenoord in the Champions League on Wednesday
- Sergio Conceicao was far from happy at the post-match press conference
- LISTEN NOW: It’s All Kicking Off! Is there an agenda against Ange Postecoglou?
AC Milan manager Sergio Conceicao was clearly in no mood to speak to the media after his side’s 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the first leg of their Champions League play-off on Wednesday night.
A goalkeeping howler gave the Dutch side the upper hand in the tie with the return leg taking place at the San Siro next week.
Igor Paixao scored the game’s only goal after three minutes when his speculative effort from the left flank skidded with pace off the wet surface and slipped through the gloves of the diving Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
It should have been a routine save for the France international and it kickstarted what was ultimately a rather miserable night for the Italian giants.
And Conceicao cut a frustrated figure as he attended the post-match press conference before storming out after just one question.
The Portuguese was not only upset about the result but also that he was forced to wait outside before coming in to face the media.
.
He said: ‘We knew what the atmosphere was like, how aggressive they were, we knew it.
‘Matches definitely become easier if you win duels. We entered the match with a chance for Tijjani Reijnders, then we conceded a goal.
‘Well, things happen. It wasn’t a lucky match. We should have done more. We had the chances to at least equalise.
‘But that’s enough now, I waited 15 minutes to speak and now I’m leaving.’
Walker, who endured a torrid night, also spoke to the press and insisted that the team can recover from the loss.
He said: ‘We can turn it around… We have to learn from it. It’s not just the forwards – all the team needs to contribute to score goals. It’s a two-legged game so we’re disappointed but we look forward to the game at the Stadio San Siro.’
