AC Milan will not apologize for their bad form and will strive to change their fortunes when they organize Lazio in Serie A on Sunday, says head coach Sergio Concukicao.
Milan will come across the Biancocelesti opposite the rear competition in Torino and Bologna last week, while they also left the Champions League with a 2-1 total defeat against Feyenoord in the play-off round.
“We are aware of the moment, what happened, both because of our mistakes and what we cannot control,” said Conuicao at a press conference before the competition on Saturday.
“We can't stick to bad luck, but we can work on what is wrong and on the mistakes we make and bring results.”
Milan's Serie A Top-Vier Hoop got an important blow when they lost 2-1 in Bologna on Thursday after the hosts returned from a goal down.
“I saw positive things in the first half in Bologna,” said Conceicao.
“We admitted a goal that was not good, there was a handball (but) we should not hold on to it, we were not aware after this episode. We need more lightness, more balance.”

Milan has struggled for consistency this season, only winning three Series A matches once. They are currently eighth in the table after 26 games, 16 points from leaders Inter.
“The physical trainer tells me that the data is 100%, but I want it to be 150%,” said Conceicao.
“We probably have to continue at all times. If we want to play in a certain way, we need changes in pace, gear, sprints.”
Emotions will be high when Milan welcomes the fifth placed Lazio, where the Portuguese manager played two spells for three years.
Conuicao was a Lazio player from 1998 to 2000 and from 2003 to 2004, so they helped six trophies, including a Serie A title and two Coppa Italia triumphs.
“Man is full of memories, it's normal. But even if my parents were there tomorrow to play for Lazio, I play to win,” said Conukicao.
