Chapter 732: The opponent of the semifinals!

In his post-match press conference, Juventus manager Antonio Conte looked frustrated.

'I'm sorry to disappoint the Juventus fans, we played a little better than the last game, but we have a gap with Manchester City in terms of chances!'

Conte said, shaking his head.

Antonio Conte is a manager with a personality, and one of his differences with Juventus' hierarchy is that Conte believes that Juventus lack real stars.

Especially the strikers!

In this game, for example, even if Manchester City did not send their main lineup, Dzeko and Vardy still provided Manchester City with a very strong attacking force.

When it comes to creating chances, the two teams are not much different.

Number of shots Man City had fifteen shots on goal with seven on target, while Juventus had twenty-one, but what about the number of shots on goal from the woodwork? Juventus had just four shots.

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

If you put aside the scoreline, in terms of statistics, the two teams can even be said to be evenly matched.

After losing the Champions League quarter-finals, Conte once again assessed the demand for strikers in the summer transfer window.

Juventus's several strikers are a bit "chicken" in Conte's opinion, and their ability is not up to the bottom, and they are very good in Serie A, but when they are pulled into the Champions League, compared with the attacking groups of other teams, several of Juventus' forwards are a little too bad.

If you look at Manchester City, they have Eden Hazard, Antoine Griezmann, Kaka, David Silva and Dzeko and Jamie Vardy on the bench.

This kind of attacking configuration is what a team that is really interested in the Champions League should have.

After Conte left, Gobo walked into the press conference hall.

His hair was a little messy, and his clothes were also Zouba.

If he walks out on the streets like this, I'm afraid people will still think that this is a down-and-out little white-collar worker....

But the reporters on 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 reaching the last four of the Champions League, Coach Gao Bo, will Manchester City's goal be to win the Champions League?"

A reporter stood up and asked.

"I don't think there's going to be a team going to play for the runner-up."

Gao Bo was in a good mood after the win, and he replied with a smile.

"Reaching the semi-finals, the idea is to be able to go further."

"Which opponent would you like to meet in the semi-finals?"

'No matter who it is, the team that can get to the semi-finals is not a weak team, and I think we won't know until tomorrow after the other two games, no matter which team is drawn, it's the same for us.

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

.....

After the game, Juventus flew back to Italy shortly after.

When Juventus defender Barzagli faced reporters at the airport, Barzagli, who was in a bad mood, said with a gloomy face: "We played badly, but the opponent also showed that they are strong, they are strong. Yes, better than us, now we have to improve ourselves and thanks to the support, we failed and we will come back next season. ”

On City's side, captain Vincent Kompany was also interviewed: "The key thing is that we didn't concede a goal in the opening stages, we didn't play well enough in the first 10 minutes, but we adjusted quickly. ”

The match was also heavily covered by the media on both sides.

"The second leg in Manchester was like the first leg, with City quickly seizing their chances to score and Premier League upstarts deserving to progress to the semi-finals, with the gap between the two teams in attack clear," said the newspaper Sport. ”

Juventus' mouthpiece, Torino Sport, is blunt: "Neither the four Quagliarella nor Vucinic, nor Matri are enough to make Juventus go far 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, and everyone thought before the game that Gao Bo was a little too strong, but it turned out that Manchester City had a lot of bench strength to be underestimated, even Dzeko and Vardy couldn't play at Manchester City, and they had a very strong squad. Sky Sports said in the report.

In the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City, who were playing at home, easily defeated Juventus 2-0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League with an aggregate score of 5-1! Gao Bo's team has performed very strongly in the Champions League, Manchester City has also swept away last season's weakness in the Champions League, and they are now the favorites to win the Champions League, all of which have been brought by Gao Bo after taking charge of Manchester City! ”

"Before the start of the season, many people thought that Manchester City was a little too ruthless to fire Mancini, after all, although Manchester City did not win the championship, they also won the league runner-up in history, and the momentum is still very good. Now, however, City's results speak for themselves! ”

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

In China, the media and fans have begun to wonder if Gao Bo can become the first coach to defend the Champions League after the restructuring.

Even though he didn't lead the same team, it was not easy to achieve such an achievement.

.......

The other matches played on the same day were Real Madrid vs Malaga.

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

And while the aftermath of the Manchester City and Juventus match was still rippling, the next day, two more matches were ready to be played.

Bayern Munich vs Barcelona!

Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain!

In this season's Champions League, the performance of German football is quite strong!

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

In the second round, there are no miracles!!

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

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

After the game, the German media was very excited: "This is the first time in history that two German teams have advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League!! We even had the chance to see two German teams meet 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.

For the first time in this year's Champions League, the semi-final draw will be used. The draw was presided over by UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino, who is already familiar to fans, and Giorgio Marchetti, Head of Competition. As for the lottery guests, this time we invited the recently retired Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy (Ruud van Nistelrooy).

The draw ended quickly.

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

This is a familiar opponent who led Atletico Madrid and Heynckes' Bayern Munich to the Champions League final last season.

Now in the Champions League semifinals, Gao Bo once again encountered Bayern Munich!

And in the other group, it is Dortmund against Real Madrid!
