Chapter 732 The Opponent in the Semifinals!

Chapter 732 The opponent in the semifinals!

In the post-match press conference, Juventus coach Antonio Conte looked frustrated.

"I'm sorry to disappoint the Juventus fans, we played a little bit better than the last one, but there is a gap between us and Manchester City in terms of taking chances!"

Conte shook his head and said.

Conte is a personality coach, and one of the differences between him and Juventus' senior management is that Conte believes that Juventus lacks real stars.

Especially forwards!

Taking this game as an example, even if Manchester City did not send their main lineup, Dzeko and Vardy still provided Manchester City with a very strong strike force.

In terms of creating chances, the two teams are not much different.

Shots Manchester City had 15 shots on target, seven on target, while Juventus had 21, but what about shots on target? Juventus had just four shots.

There is not much difference between the two sides in terms of ball possession, and even in the number of passes, Juventus is even more than Manchester City.

If you put aside the score, from the data point of view, the two teams can even be said to be evenly matched.

After losing this Champions League quarter-final, Conte once again confirmed the summer transfer window for the team to buy a striker.

Several Juventus forwards are a bit "chicken" in Conte's view, their ability is not good, they are very good in Serie A, but they are pulled into the Champions League and compared with other teams' offensive groups , Juventus strikers are a bit too out of hand.

Look at Manchester City, they have Hazard, Griezmann, Kaka, David Silva, Dzeko and Vardy on the bench.

Such an offensive configuration is what a team that is truly interested in the Champions League should have.

After Conte left, Gao Bo walked into the press conference hall.

His hair was a little messy, and his clothes were also Zou Baba's.

If he just walked to the street like this, I am afraid people will think that this is a poor white-collar worker...

But the reporters on the scene knew that he was the winner of the game.

His team reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

"First of all, congratulations to Manchester City for entering the Champions League semi-finals. Coach Gao Bo, will Manchester City's goal be the Champions League?"

A reporter stood up and asked.

"I don't think any team will play for the runner-up."

After winning, Gao Bo was in a good mood, he replied with a smile.

"Going into the semi-finals, the idea is of course to be able to go further."

"Which opponent do you want to face in the semi-final."

"No matter who it is, the team that can enter the semi-finals is not a weak team. I think this issue will be clear after the other two games are compared tomorrow. No matter which team is drawn, for us all the same."

Gao Bo was very confident and high-spirited on stage.

.....

After the game, Juventus quickly took a plane and returned to Italy.

When Juventus defender Barzagli faced reporters at the airport, Barzagli said with a gloomy expression: "We played badly, but the opponents also proved their strength, they are very strong. Yes. , stronger than us, now we have to improve our strength, thank the fans for their support, we failed, we will come again next season."

On the Manchester City side, captain Kompany was also interviewed: "The most important thing is that we didn't concede the ball in the opening stage. We didn't play well enough in the first ten minutes, but we quickly adjusted."

The media on both sides also carried out a lot of coverage of the game.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" said in the report: "The second leg in Manchester was like the first leg, Manchester City quickly seized the opportunity to score, and the Premier League upstart should advance to the semi-finals. ."

The mouthpiece of Juventus "Turin Sports" is blunt: "Neither Quagliarella nor Vucinic and Matri are enough to make Juventus go further in the Champions League. .Juventus need a stronger striker!"

On the England side, the media still gave high praise to Manchester City for beating Juventus to advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

"It was an easy game. Before the game, everyone thought that Gao Bo was a little too big, but it turns out that the strength of the bench that Manchester City has should not be underestimated. Even Dzeko and Vardy can't play the main force in Manchester City. Their squad is very strong," Sky Sports said in the report.

"In the second round at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City at home easily defeated Juventus 2-0 and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with a total score of 5-1! Gao Bo's team performed very strongly in the Champions League, and Manchester City also After sweeping away their weakness in the Champions League last season, they are now the favourites to win the Champions League, all of which has been brought about by Gao Bo's arrival at Manchester City!"

"Before the start of the season, many people thought that it was too ruthless for Manchester City to fire Mancini. After all, although Manchester City did not win the championship, they also won the second place in the league historically, and the momentum is still very good. However, until now, Manchester City has The results prove it all!"

The English media are applauding Manchester City's Champions League performance.

In China, the media and fans have begun to look forward to whether Gao Bo can become the first coach to defend the Champions League after the restructuring!

Although not leading the same team, but even so, it is not easy to achieve such an achievement.

......

The other game on the same day was Real Madrid vs Malaga.

There were no surprises in this game, Real Madrid easily beat Malaga.

And while the aftermath of the Manchester City-Juventus game was still rippling, the next day, two other games were also ready to go.

Bayern Munich vs Barcelona!

Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain!

This season's Champions League, German football's performance is quite strong!

Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg, while Dortmund also beat Paris Saint-Germain!

Second round, no miracles! !

Bayern beat Barcelona 2-1, Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-0!

The two German teams advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

After the game, the German media said very excitedly: "This is the first time in history that two German teams have advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League!! We even have the opportunity to see the scene of two German teams meeting in the final!"

The first condition for the two German teams to meet in the final is that they cannot be drawn together.

And at the drawing ceremony that followed, the Germans' wish came true.

This year's Champions League is the first to use the semi-final draw format. The hosts of the draw ceremony were still UEFA Secretary General Infantino and competition director Marchetti, who are already familiar to fans. As for the draw guests, this time we invited the recently retired Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The lottery will be over soon.

In the end, Manchester City's opponent was Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga class!

This is a familiar opponent for Gao Bo, who led Atletico Madrid and Heynckes' Bayern Munich in the Champions League final last season.

Now in the Champions League semi-final, Gao Bo once again encountered Bayern Munich!

In the other group, it is Dortmund against Real Madrid!
