Paulo Fonseca is out, and Sergio Conceicao is in the office.It’s time for the latter’s debut as the new AC Milan boss, and what better way to make a fresh start there is than against the Rossonerri’s archrival, Juventus. The two of Italy’s most decorated sides meet tonight, in the Suppercopa Italiana semi-final to decide who will face Inter in the Monday showdown in Ryadh (10 pm).##NAJAVA_MECA_8605400##Ahead of his debut, Conceicao confirmed that Rafael Leao would be out of the match due to an injury but also added that he had found players who ‘are eager to change a few things’.”The initial impact has been very positive. I saw a group that is eager to change a few things,” he told Milan TV.”I saw players who want to understand different tactical ideas and this humility is important for me, these are the foundations to build on. We worked very well, obviously I only just arrived and then we had to travel, so there hasn’t been much time to train.”We’ve got to prepare as best we can to against Juventus.”Dumfries’ double dagger launches Inter to Supercoppa finalWhen it comes to facing Juve, there are not too many secrets surrounding the match from Conceicao’s point of view.”We must be competitive, organised, understand what we can do to Juve on a strategic level,” continued the coach.”We’ve got to work hard, be aggressive and I tried to be incisive with the squad on some aspects that are fundamental for me. Even with injuries and not much time to work, we must look Juve in the eyes with no excuses and try to beat them.”If he had stayed at AC Milan only two more days, he would have earned €5m moreUnlike sidelined Leao, Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah are not fully fit either, but could find themselves in the squad for the Juve tie.”It will be honestly difficult to say until the last minute, every hour is important to see how they react,” noted Conceicao.”Pulisic is back training with the squad, but Leao is not, whereas we’ll see with Musah. It’s impossible for Leao to be available, but the others are and the doubt is whether they can handle 90 minutes. These are the choices I have to make,” concluded the new Milan boss.ITALY SUPER CUP – SEMIFINALSThursday Inter – Atalanta 2-0 (0-0)/Dumfries 49, 61/Friday 22.00: (2.40) Juventus (3.40) Milan (3.20)***odds are subject to change***
