Revealed: The truth behind Portuguese professional football manager Sergio Conceicao comments to Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta exposed

There were allegations that the manager of the Gunners engaged in some unsavory behavior after the final whistle blew during the Champions League match against Porto on Tuesday night. However, club sources have categorically denied these allegations.

Regarding the allegations that Mikel Arteta insulted Sergio Conceicao’s family in the aftermath of Arsenal’s Champions League round of 16 second leg victory over Porto, sources within the club have categorically denied the allegations.

Because of the goal scored by Leandro Trossard in the first half, the Gunners were able to overcome the deficit they had incurred in the first leg. However, it was only via the use of penalties that they were able to ultimately defeat their Portuguese opponents.

Both teams committed 74 fouls over the course of the two games that they played against each other, which contributed to the tense environment that prevailed during the competition between them. This was something that Conceicao himself was intimately involved in. The manager of the Portuguese team stated that “they wanted to play, we wanted to win” after his team’s victory in the first leg of the match, which took place at Estadio do Dragao and was 1-0. A touchline argument between the 49-year-old and Kai Havertz occurred during the second leg of the match, during which the 49-year-old continued to exhibit an abrasive attitude.

Despite the fact that Arsenal had won the penalty shootout thanks to two saves made by David Raya, the animosity between the two teams lingered, as evidenced by the passionate exchange of words that took place between Conceicao and Arteta after the final whistle blew. Arteta first declined to comment on this matter at his news conference following the match; nevertheless, Conceicao later went on to assert that the comments made by the Arsenal manager during the altercation were related to his family.

“During the game and towards the bench he, in Spanish, I don’t know if this is to do with Spanish managers, he insulted my family,” the head coach of Porto stated. “And then at the end, I said attention, who he insults is not between us, he should focus on training his team because they have a lot of individual qualities to do that.”

However, sources within the club have since categorically disputed that Arteta did in fact say this. Having said that, this is not the first time that Conceicao has expressed his disapproval of the behavior of the Spaniard.

During the time that Arteta was working as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, Conceicao accused the coaching staff of the club of acting inappropriately as they claimed victory in the group stage of the competition. According to the statement made by the Porto coach in the year 2020, “I have a lot to learn from Pep Guardiola, in the way that he pressures referees, talks to opposition players, and talks to the opposition dugout.” The man is a wonderful illustration. This is something that I need to learn. When we were compared to the other dugout, we were like angels.

“He used foul language when he was speaking about our nation. The attitude that Guardiola displayed was highly disagreeable. If there was anyone who ought to have been complaining, it was the Porto bench, because we were terribly unfairly done by. The entire Manchester City dugout was because of this.

A comparison between the officials of this game and those who are located upstairs in the video assistant referees reveals that international referees have a lot to learn from ours in Portugal. “I have to apologise to the referees in Portugal because I express my displeasure when I believe that we have been wronged. There was a significant impact that the refereeing had on the final result of this match. (The Augustin) As a result of being fouled before to the awarding of the penalty, Marchesín is currently experiencing a severe condition in his leg.

When the two teams faced each other in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in 2021, Conceicao was especially scathing of the behavior of Thomas Tuchel, who had previously managed Chelsea. “I was insulted by this gentleman who is next door…” he expressed his opinion. It is pointless to discuss the fact that my English is not flawless because it is not great. Due to the fact that I was concentrating on the game, there was no exchange of words; I am not sure what caused his reaction.

On the other hand, I was not entirely clear. I heard some insults, but it’s over… it’s not pretty, and my displeasure in the end had something to do with it. I heard some criticism. There was no mention of it at all,”

In order to determine who their possible opponents in the quarterfinals and semi-finals of the Champions League could be, Arsenal will now wait for the draw that will take place on Friday. When Arteta was asked about the possibility of winning the competition, he responded, “I think it’s still very far.” “Now I’m gonna sit at home, I’m gonna look at the other teams we have to play and start another big mountain to climb.”
