AC Milan's manager, Sergio Conceicao, believes his team's success in the Coppa Italia may save their lackluster season. He emphasized that Milan doesn't need the extra motivation of hindering Inter Milan's treble quest. Unfortunately, Milan sits ninth in Serie A, out of Champions League contention.
