Chapter 720 The opponent in the semifinals!

Chapter 732 The opponent in the semifinals!
In the post-match press conference, 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 there is a gap between us and 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' top management is that Conte believes that Juventus lacks real stars.

Especially forwards!
Taking this game as an example, even though Manchester City did not send their main lineup, Dzeko and Vardy still provided Manchester City with a very strong striker attack.

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

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

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

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 identified the summer transfer window's requirement for the team to buy a striker.

In Conte's opinion, several Juventus forwards are a bit "bad" and their ability is not high.

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

This kind of 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 was messy, and his clothes belonged to Zou Baba.

If he walked to the street like this, people might still think that he is a down-and-out little white-collar worker.
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 semi-finals 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 any team will play for the runner-up."

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

"Into the semi-finals, our idea is naturally to be able to go further."

"Which opponent do you want to face in the semi-finals?"

"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 tomorrow. No matter which team is drawn, it is the same for us."

Gao Bo is very confident and energetic on stage.

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

When Juventus defender Barzagli faced reporters at the airport, Barzagli, who was in a bad mood, said with a gloomy face: "We played poorly, but the opponent also proved their strength. They are very strong. Yes, they are stronger than us. Now we must improve our strength. Thank you for the support of the fans. We failed. We will come back next season."

On Manchester City's side, Captain Kompany was also interviewed: "The most important thing is that we didn't concede a goal in the opening stage. We didn't play well in the first 10 minutes, but we adjusted quickly."

The media on both sides also reported heavily on 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. The Premier League upstart deserves to advance to the semi-finals. The gap between the two teams is obvious."

The mouthpiece of Juventus, "Gazzetta dello Sport" is blunt: "Whether Quagliarella, Vucinic, or Matri is not enough to make Juventus go further in the Champions League. Juventus needs a stronger striker!"

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

"This was an easy game. Before the game, everyone thought that Gao Bo was a little too big, but it turned out that the strength of Manchester City's bench should not be underestimated. Even Dzeko and Vardy are not the main players in Manchester City. Their lineup is very strong." "Sky Sports" said in the report.

"In the second round at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City easily defeated Juventus [-]-[-] at home and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League with a total score of [-]-[-]! Gao Bo's team performed very strongly in the Champions League. Manchester City also swept 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 that Manchester City's dismissal of Mancini was a bit too ruthless. After all, although Manchester City did not win the championship, they also won the league runner-up in history. The momentum is still very good. But now, Manchester City's results prove everything!"

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

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, even so, it is not easy to achieve such an achievement.

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

There were no surprises in this match, with Real Madrid beating Malaga with ease.

And while the aftermath of the game between Manchester City and Juventus was still rippling, the next day, the other two games were also prepared.

Bayern Munich vs Barcelona!

Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain!

In this season's Champions League, German football's performance is quite strong!
Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona [-]-[-] in the first round, and Dortmund also defeated Paris Saint-Germain!

Round two, no miracles! !

Bayern beat Barcelona [-]-[-] and Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain [-]-[-]!

Two German teams joined hands 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 have the opportunity to see the scene where the 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.

In the subsequent draw ceremony, the wishes of the Germans came true.

This year's UEFA Champions League is the first time that the semi-final draw will be played against each other.The hosts of the draw ceremony are still UEFA Secretary-General Gianni Infantino (Gianni Infantino) and Competition Director Giorgio Marchetti (Giorgio Marchetti), who are already familiar to fans.As for the draw guests, this time they invited the recently retired Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The lottery ceremony will be over soon.

In the end, Manchester City's opponent was the Bundesliga class bully Bayern Munich!
This is an opponent that Gao Bo is quite familiar with. Last season, Gao Bo led Atletico Madrid and Heynckes' Bayern Munich to meet in the Champions League final.

Now in the Champions League semi-finals, Gao Bo once again encountered Bayern Munich!
In the other group, it was Dortmund against Real Madrid!
