Chelsea VS Man City: Sonia Bompastor persuades his side to leave the Champions League quarterfinals with ‘No regret’ | Football news
Sonia Bompastor says Chelsea is ready to “accept the challenge” to face Manchester City for the fourth time in 12 days, with the task of returning a deficit with two goals from the first part of their champions League calculation.
Chelsea is in an unknown territory. Bompastor’s undefeated 28-game ride while Blues Boss stopped abruptly in Manchester last week, when Vivianne Miedema got off the bench to score twice in 28 minutes and put Man City in the command of a cow.
But the French woman insists on the hope of her part that another European semifinals – probably will be against the ruling Barcelona champions – still alive, urging their players to end this extraordinary running of fixing with “no regret”.
“I don’t want my players to have regret. That’s what we want to go,” she said. “The preparation of the game is really important. We talked about the game strategy and it is really important to have everything on the same page with it. We feel ready, we have to make a game plan.
“We have all the features for the turn of things. Ninety minutes is a lot of time for us. We need a strong start. Everyone in the club wants to win this competition, I still feel like we have a capacity and quality to reverse things. I told my players last week” We’re still alive “, that’s important.
“Last week was not crucial, we have to answer. I focus a lot on my team. Playing Man City you can know more three times, it’s a rare situation, but even if I know more, I still need time to know time [everything] about him [Nick Cushing]. I feel no difference in the preparation of this game. We have to believe and be sure. I just want us to attack the game and in the end we have no regret. “
Cushing looking for improvement in the middle of rivalry
While City holds the lead in the Champions League win, the temporary head Nick Cushing requires an improvement from Sunday’s loss of WSL from Chelsea – although he noticed the stress they put in his composition.
“The plan has to be a little better,” he said. “The group did an incredible job over three games, you can see how the games were even.”
In a shot to town, Bunny Shaw and Aoba Fujino Will both miss the match.
“The medical team and the performance team do an incredible job doing through it,” Cushing said.
“It was not ideal in the last two weeks to lose the bunny Shaw and Aoba Fujino. It was not ideal on Sunday, but you look at the group, they still train incredibly difficult. I still see beliefs.”
Yui Hasegawa and Laia Aleixandri Despite their injuries on the team, despite the weekend – although Cushing said Hasegawa’s involvement was not guaranteed.
“The return of these players testifies to them and their dedication, but also the incredible work of the medical team,” Cushing said, before adding: “Yui left the ground in the crutches and I will not jump the gun and say that he will be ready.”
Mand City Revenge Mission
Sky Sports’ Laura Hunter:
“If we analyze a long game, it’s 2-1 Chelsea. The highlight of this fascinating four-speed Bonanze between Blues and Manchester City will determine who is in Europe on Thursday, and Chelsea has already won its Rivale Rivale in the Cup League and WSL’s same score of 2-1.
“The sandwich between was a stunning 2-0 scalp in which Vivianne Miedema gave the City upper hand in the Champions League. What a rollercoaster ride.
“Probably now the message is changing. Nick Cushing will repeat his team that the previous meetings, three in the last 12 days, are not.
“City’s WSL Hope is a long time (although they are now facing uphill to qualify for the Champions League next season, unless he wins her, of course), and although the silogue league Cup would be sweet, a chance to change Chelsea in Europe – a trophy that is most longing – can be considered sweeter.
“Cushing led City until his previous semi -finals of the Champions League in 2016/17 and 2017/18 and the chance of insurance of the third, while Chelsea will surely be the main motivator.”
Never write off Chelsea
Laura Hunter on Sky Sport:
“Chelsea, who has progressed in all five of his previous European quarterfinals, has to undo the deficit in order for this impressive record to be intact.
“This is not a side that is familiar with loss or particularly used to setting up returns. Does it make it more or less dangerous?
“Sonia Bompastor favors control and authority, and yet the grade will require more access to manual cubes.” I know we have a quality to reverse the situation, but we will have to be in our best, “she said last week.
“Her undefeated 28 -game starter as a blues coach may have ended with a double leg in the reverse leg, but it’s far from a decisive French woman’s mentality to turn away from the challenge. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea is set up to chase or remain patient in her quest.
“Bompastor -ova Lyon -that her side returned from the first loss to overcome Juventus on the way to the glory of the Champions League 2021/22. -This can be done.
“The last phase of this four -part epic is perfectly ready.”
