“Chelsea know how we play, we know how they play. It’s more about our performance and in 180 minutes we need to deserve to go through to the final.
We know that tactics are secondary. The most important thing is the way we approached the game. We were very competitive but we can do better, playing against a team like Chelsea is always difficult. They have an unbelievable squad, very good players, a lot of quality.
This was a very important result, not too much of an advantage. But it’s good to go to Stamford Bridge with this result. We need to be happy but it’s only half-time and now we need to play the second leg at Stamford Bridge and it will be very difficult.”
