At his AC Milan players, Sergio Conukicao urged their feet to keep firmly on the ground for next week's Coppa Italia final against Bologna.
Milan came from behind to beat Bologna 3-1 in the Serie A on Friday, in a rehearsal for next week's showpiece in Rome.
Santiago Gimenez came from the bank to score a double, with Christian Pulisic also nets, because Milan made it three league winning in a row.
Only points separate Milan and Bologna in the Serie A, where the last team has fallen to the seventh after a series of only one victory in six games.
But Conceicao wants his team to follow lessons from Friday's game.
“By [Saturday]We are going to prepare for the Coppa Italia. We have to learn from what we did and did not do, because there were negatives and positives tonight, “Confeicao told Sky Sport Italia.
“I expect differences for both teams, but this is a last, sometimes the side that does not play the best football, eventually wins.”

A victory in the Coppa Italia final would win a second trophy under Conukicao this season.
Yet the Portuguese, who took over it in December, is the subject of a lot of speculation about whether he will stay in the post for next season.
“I am used to certain things. This is not the time to talk about me. At the right time I will speak,” said Conceicao.
Bologna -coach Vincenzo Italiano has since been left frustrated after the collapse on his part, with all the goals of Milan in the last 20 minutes.
“We had control of the game, had opportunities to score a second goal, but there was a 15-minute blackout that I can't explain,” Italiano told Sky Sport Italia.
“It was the worst 15 minutes I had seen from my team for a long time, but otherwise we played with character and we could have added more goals.
“We will analyze this, because on Wednesday we need a different approach than those who came from the bank, as I liked as we started.”
