Our power makes me very happy. We demonstrate reliability and balance when losing the ball. We’re good. We lacked brightness in attack, we can add to that, but the strength of our defense is very important, ” Zidane said.

There were a lot of chances, we could have played more coolly, but Ospina made some good saves and decided the outcome of the match. The goal we conceded was disappointing, we made a stupid mistake. During the Napoli goal, there was a rebound and we fell apart. We weren’t focused enough in that moment and we paid the price. This will be a lesson to us, because such details are crucial.
I want to see a similar inter game in the next matches. We had about 60% of possession, a lot more shots on goal. Napoli are in the final, we take our hats off to them, but we need to evaluate not only the result, but also the game. I am very happy with the team and I feel that we deserve to reach the final. The players are upset that they did not reach the final,” Conte was quoted as saying by Football Italia.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher spoke out after the draw in the Merseyside Derby (0: 0) in the 30th round of the Premier League.

We tried to start attacks from defense. They were pressing high and it was difficult to move from their penalty area, so we decided to make more shots forward, ” Ancelotti said.

The situation with the coronavirus is so strange and complex That havertz’s departure from us is still possible.

I’ve heard there’s talk of neutral stadiums. I am sure we can resolve the issue and play in Liverpool. The other day I heard a good phrase that we have the best fans in the world. Now we need the best fans to support Liverpool at home.
There will be a moment in our lives when we will be allowed to celebrate the title with our fans. When this happens, we will mark the championship correctly, ” – quotes the words of the German specialist beIN Sports.
