Sergio Conceicao capped an incredible first week at AC Milan by lifting the Italian Super Cup on Monday, wrapping up a period which included two comeback wins, fighting a fever, picking up an injury and smoking a cigar in the dressing room.

The adrenaline of AC Milan’s comeback victory over Juventus, delivered by USMNT stars Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah, was still subsiding and the Portuguese head coach outlined the key quality that swung their comeback. “In football and in life, you’ve got to be brave,” he told reporters in a post-match press conference.
