The coach of Copenhagen, Jacob Neestrupacknowledged the supremacy of City of Manchester in the first leg of the round of 16 of Champions League and the justice of the result against a rival that showed why he is the current champion of the tournament. “It was a tough night, they were one or two levels above,” he said at a press conference.
“His rhythm surprised us”
Neestrup He admitted that his team “wanted more but couldn’t handle it” and that in front of them they had the “best” team in the world. “We found a team that came very mentally, from the first minute, and their speed surprised us. The combination of that and not having played a competitive match for two months was certain,” he declared.
The Danish coach saved the last 20 minutes of the first half for his team, and although he regretted the opportunity to make it 2-1 and concede the last two goals in stoppage time of each period, he had nothing but. “We lost against a team that was better than us in everything, we have to admit that,” he said.
Although the winter break and the resulting lack of rhythm was an important factor, Neestrup He didn’t want to make excuses and recalled that this situation has affected other Danish and Nordic teams in the past.
