Conceicao keen for Milan to regain 'passion' to end recent slump

Sergio Conceicao aims for AC Milan to regain their "passion and desire" in the upcoming Milan derby after recent struggles.

Milan’s unbeaten start under Conceicao, including a Supercoppa Italiana win over Inter, was followed by a 2-0 loss to Juventus and a surprising 2-1 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, which led to a play-off for knockout qualification. Milan has struggled against top Serie A teams, earning just five points from games against the current top eight.

Conceicao admitted Milan is far from his ideal, high-intensity, pressing style, and that the team needs improvement. With Milan struggling in Serie A, they face Inter, who are in strong form, in a crucial derby for Milan’s season.
