Chapter 732: Opponents in the semifinals!
The 732nd chapter semi-final opponent!
At the press conference after the game, Juventus coach Conte looked very frustrated.
"I'm sorry to disappoint the Juventus fans. We played a little better in this game than the last one, but we have a gap with Manchester City in terms of seizing opportunities!"
Conte shook his head and said.
Conte is a personality coach. One of the differences between him and Juventus's top management is that Conte thinks Juventus lacks real stars.
Especially the forward!
Take this game as an example, even if Manchester City is not their main lineup, but Dzeko and Vardi still provide Manchester City with a very strong strike force.
There is not much difference between the two teams in terms of creating opportunities.
Shots Manchester City has fifteen shots and seven shots on target, while Juventus has 21 shots, but what about the number of shots within the frame? Juventus only made 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 the score is aside, from a statistical point of view, the two teams can even be said to be evenly matched.
After losing the Champions League quarter-finals, Conte once again identified the summer transfer window for the team to buy forwards.
Juventus’s several strikers seem to be "tasteless" in Conte's view, and their ability is not high enough. They are very good in Serie A, but they are drawn to the UEFA Champions League and compared with the offensive groups of other teams. , Juventus's several strikers are a bit too incapable of taking action.
Look at Manchester City. They have Hazard, Griezmann, Kaka, David Silva, and Dzeko and Vardi on the bench.
Such an offensive configuration is what a team that is really interested in the Champions League should have.
After Conte left, Gao Bo walked into the press conference hall.
His hair is a bit messy, and his clothes are Zou Baba's.
If he walks to the street like this, I am afraid that people will still think that this is a down-and-out little white-collar...
But the reporters at the scene knew that he was the winner of this 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 champion?"
A reporter stood up and asked.
"I don't think any team will compete for the runner-up."
Gao Bo was in a good mood after winning, he replied with a smile.
"In the semi-finals, our idea is to go further."
"Which opponent do you want to meet in the semifinals."
"No matter who it is, the team that can make it to the semifinals is not a weak team. I think this question will be clear after the other two games tomorrow. No matter which team is drawn, it is for us. all the same."
Gao Bo is very confident and full of energy on stage.
...
After the game, Juventus quickly took a plane and returned to Italy.
When Juventus defender Barzagli was facing reporters at the airport, Barzagli, who was in a bad mood, said with a gloomy expression: "We played badly, but the opponents also proved that they are strong. They are strong. Yes. , Better 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 lose the ball in the opening stage. We didn't play well in the first ten minutes, but we quickly adjusted it."
The media on both sides also reported on the game.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" said in the report: "The second round in Manchester is like the first round. Manchester City quickly seized the opportunity to score. The Premier League upstart should qualify for the semi-finals. The gap between the two teams on the front line is obvious. ."
And Juventus’s mouthpiece "Torino Sport" is outspoken: "Neither Quagliarella, Vucinic, and Matri are enough to make Juventus go further in the Champions League. . Juventus needs a stronger striker!"
On the English side, the media gave high praise to Manchester City's defeat of Juventus to advance to the Champions League semi-finals.
"It was an easy game. Before the game, everyone thought that Gao Bo was a bit too big, but the facts proved that Manchester City's bench strength should not be underestimated. Even Dzeko and Vardi could not be the main players in Manchester. Their lineup 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 Sweeping away the weakness in the Champions League last season, they are now the favorites to win the Champions League. All this is brought about after Gao Bo entered Manchester City!"
"Before the start of the season, many people thought it was too ruthless for Manchester City to fire Mancini. After all, even though Manchester City did not win the championship, they also won the historic runner-up in the league. The momentum is still very good. But now, Manchester City The results prove everything!"
England’s media are applauding Manchester City’s Champions League performance.
In China, the media and fans have begun to wonder whether Gao Bo can become the first coach to defend the Champions League after the reform!
Although not leading the same team, even so, achieving such an achievement is not easy.
