Chapter 352: I can only make the last try!

After the game, Conte and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer soon appeared at the press conference. They don’t need to comfort their players now. After all, even Chelsea, who did not win the game at home, is still far from despair.

The 1:1 score does seem to give Manchester United a away goal advantage, but who stipulates that when the two sides confront each other in the second leg, Chelsea cannot score at Old Trafford?

Just Chelsea scored a goal at Old Trafford, and Manchester United's away goal would have no meaning. At that time, whoever can qualify will depend on the result of the second leg.

Facing football reporters from various European countries, Solskjaer first summarized the game: "We have made sufficient preparations for today's game, but we still didn't expect Chelsea to use set pieces to score first! The situation behind once made us feel a lot of pressure until we equalized the score! But this game did not meet our expectations, and we did not get much advantage from this game! A away goal... This is not an advantage for a team that has already reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. If we think this is an advantage, we will inevitably suffer in the next round of the game!"

Conte, sitting next to Solskjaer, is feeling more and more pressure on his young colleague. This season is a rapid growth season for the young Manchester United. For this young and experienced Norwegian "babyface"?

At the beginning of the season, Conte could clearly see the tenderness, hesitation, confusion, and even... extremely lack of confidence in Solskjaer!

As a head coach and lacks confidence, how good can the team you brought out be?

But looking at the Ottoman Solskjaer who is sitting next to him and talking, Conte has to admit that this is already an opponent that he can pay attention to. Even if Manchester United actually has a slight advantage in this game, but looking at Solskjaer's serious expression, it is hard to believe that when Manchester United returns to Old Trafford Stadium, they will underestimate the opponent.

The second round...it will definitely be difficult to fight!

When Conte made a post-match summary, the Italians also seemed very cautious: "Although we failed to win the game today, we also took the lead for a while, which gave us great confidence! Everyone knows the current situation of the team. We have lost the main center on the offensive end, and our attack power has been greatly affected. Even if Romelu is there, our set-piece tactics will inevitably become more threatening! Of course, it is meaningless to say these things now! In this game, my players devoted all their money, and they perfectly implemented the tactics I arranged for the team. I am proud of these guys! There will be a victory or defeat in the game, but they are the most perfect players in my heart! I am satisfied with today's game!"

The result of this game was not eye-catching for journalists from all over Europe. The head coaches of the two teams also seemed calm and had no trouble in the subsequent free questioning session.

Speaking of which, the competition was indeed very intense, but no matter how intense the process was, there was nothing very attractive in the end. The result of 1:1 really made the bystanders a little depressed, basically... I didn't see anything!

The expected fierce battle between Chelsea and Manchester United did not end up with any fierce results. In another match between Monaco and Juventus, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals was held the next day. The final result was also... a bit as light as water!

1:0, Monaco defeated the "old woman" Juventus at home with a goal from Falcao, but the scene of this game was even more dull than the game played at Stamford Bridge Stadium the day before. The combined number of shots between the two teams was only 27 times, and the goal was scored... 1!

Chelsea scored two goals at home with Manchester United, and the game was extremely fierce. The two teams made great efforts to score. The two sides completed a total of 46 shots. In addition, not only did the players fight, but also the wits between Conte and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the tactical level, which looked much more exciting than Monaco and Juventus.

In this case, UEFA has no choice. Whether it is the Champions League or the Europa League, as long as the game enters the knockout stage, all teams will become conservative, and the number of goals and excitement of the game will also drop sharply.

In these two seasons, the rebirth of the "Red Devils" has brought a lot of surprises to the Champions League and many hot games with a huge number of goals. Otherwise, the attractiveness of the Champions League may have declined.

But this time... UEFA obviously made a mistake. Although Manchester United and Chelsea faced each other, it seemed that they arranged a fierce semi-final match, but also satisfied the Italian team and French teams competed for a place to enter the Champions League final. However, the game's excitement will also make the Champions League's attractiveness less.

Regarding UEFA's worrying about gains and losses, they are constantly weighing the pros and cons. The "Blue Army" don't have time to deal with these, and they still have to strive for the best in the last two rounds of the game.

Now, although Chelsea has no hope of competing for the top four again, if Tottenham Hotspur, who is only one more point than himself, can win the fifth place in the league, no matter whether he reaches the Champions League final to compete for the Champions League trophy, or Manchester United enters the final to win the Champions League trophy again, the fifth place in the Premier League can also play in the Champions League next season.

Moreover, Chelsea have a chance to overtake Tottenham Hotspur. In this round, "Bai Baihe" will usher in the "Blue Moon" at home. Even if Guardiola, who has already locked in the league runner-up this season, and his team are in no desires and no desires, they don't try hard on the away game, then... a draw can still be expected?

But what Conte didn't expect was that... "Blue Moon" really let go!

After Chelsea beat Bournemouth 4-0 at home, they were looking forward to Manchester City helping him at the New White Hart Lane Stadium, but in the end... Tottenham Hotspur finally defeated Manchester City 1-0!

Guardiola and his team not only lost at the New White Hart Lane Stadium, but also even had a lower ball possession rate than their opponents in the game. This... Who would believe it if you don't let the money go?

Due to the new changes in the Premier League standings, this has led to Chelsea who still wants to play in the Champions League next season, then they must win the Champions League semi-finals and eventually enter the Champions League final to defeat their opponents and win the Champions League trophy.
