With a good result and extra bonuses, Munirio's first leg of the UEFA semi-finals was a lot of rewards.
In the early morning of April 29, Beijing time, there were two first-leg matches in the semi-finals of the European Union League this season, with Serie A Roma playing a 1-1 draw with Leicester City in the Premier League; Feyenoord in the Dutch league beat Marseille Incali 3-2 at home.
Pellegri fired hard to open the scoring for Roma.
The quarter-finals won 4-0 over Norwegian Bode Shine in the second leg, and Roma advanced to the semi-finals with a gut-wrenching victory. Facing Leicester City, who eliminated Eredivisie powerhouse Eindhoven, Mourinho's side scored first, and in the 15th minute, Italian striker Pellegrini shot inside the penalty area to break Schmeichel Jr.'s ten-finger mark, giving Roma a 1-0 lead. However, Leicester City tied the score in the second half with Nigerian striker Lukeman, the two teams shook hands 1-1, and the final quota battle will continue into the next leg at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
Leicester City tied the score.
After the game, Mourinho regretted the 1-1 result, "We didn't control the ball in the second half and let the other side score, some regrets. However, the opponent is very strong, and such a result is normal. Mourinho said he would lead the team to win in the second leg, "We have played 13 European games this season, and now that we are in this position (semi-finals), of course we want to advance to the final and win the championship. ”
Interestingly, Leicester City manager Brandon Rodgers has worked with Mourinho at Chelsea and is very familiar with the two. This time Mourinho came to his own turf competition, Rogers did his best to be a landlord and gave his predecessors a bottle of Portuguese red wine. In response, Mourinho humorously responded: "Brandon gave me a very good bottle of Portuguese wine, I don't know where he bought it, but I know the price of this bottle, I like it very much." ”
