In the 37th round of Serie A, Milan lost 1-3 away to Roma. After the game, Milan coach Concesan accepted an interview with DAZN. In the 21st minute of the game, S-Jimenez was sent off by a red card. What do you think about this?

The atmosphere for the team was not relaxed after losing the Italian Cup final. Since I came here five months ago, we have always encountered some negative factors, whether it is because of our own mistakes or other reasons, which tend to be more favorable to our opponents. VAR's intervention today was just as bad as it was against us in the Italian Cup final against Bologna. I'm not saying that there was a problem with today's penalty, but similar actions from opponents in the Italian Cup final were not judged. We are competing for European seats, so these details have become very important. We have worked hard to persevere until the end, and I have nothing to blame for this. We had a chance to win this game, and I am very confident about it. The second conceding is a free kick, and this cannot happen. Afterwards, we also got two chances to equalize the score in front of the goal, but due to the disadvantage in numbers, we eventually lacked physical fitness.

Next, will you talk openly about your future with the Milan Club?

Indeed, everyone must evaluate their work. I have high demands on myself and everyone evaluates the work they have done. I looked at the data and before today's game, Milan won all the points in the Champions League during this period. We won one championship and reached another final. But there are always some failures due to details, such as the red cards encountered in Dynamo Zagreb and other red cards. For a club like Milan, the season has not been going well and everyone has to evaluate their work.

You got a red card at the last moment and were unable to participate in the next round of Serie A's farewell game at San Siro. Do you feel sorry for this?

I have always been passionate about coaching. It doesn't matter to me whether I can say goodbye to San Siro. I am very close to my players. I just said that I must respect my players. The foul I judged before the second goal was not present, but I was sent off for this. I've been in football for many years and everything on the court isn't always fair. I am sorry that I can’t accompany my players in the last game, for the next 5 or 6 days – depending on our schedule, and we will be united and face our responsibilities together.
