The best team lost - Jose

Jose Mourinho to ITV Sport: “Independent of the decision, the best team lost. We didn’t play well, we didn’t deserve to win, but football is like this. I’m not speaking about the decision because I am not sure about it. Independent of that, the best team lost.”

Dortmund general manager Michael Zorc: "I am very happay that we reached the next round and we deserved it. In a short period after the break we had little problems, because Donetsk was very fresh. But we had during the last minutes of the match some more chances. So all in all we deserve the next round."
 
Anyone heard what SAF said postgame ?

Opinions on tomorrow's games, liking the draw in PSG-Valencia match and maybe under in Juventus match since their already up 3-0 will have no need to play open and take chances.
 
Anyone got any ideas on the Concacaf CL games tonite ?

Houston doesn't seem to care about this event while Santos has always done well, wondering if there is a play here.
 
echo what Monger said...short price and they are in the middle of their season,

Talking Tactics

Tactically, Santos could be called similar to last season's Houston Dynamo. Their formation can vary from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 depending on their opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

"When you look at our tactical formations, they vary from a 4-4-2 to 4-3-3. It all depends on the opponent, it all depends on who we have available, who's on the pitch. The coach has done a very good job at implementing those systems regarding personnel and the opponent."


When it comes to the match against the Dynamo, only time will tell whether Santos fields a group of starters or reserves or what type of formation they'll line up in. Gomez sees a few similarities in both clubs and knows that Tuesday's result isn't the end of this series.

"I still don't know who we'll field, what formation we'll be in. But we do cater to what we have in front of us. Without giving too much away, we do have a similar style of attack and defensively this team has changed so much.

I think we're one of the best defenses right now in Liga MX.
That all starts with the way we pressure up front, the way we move and close down gaps and keep those lines compact and make it difficult for our opponent.
It's going to be a battle, no doubt about it.


It's going to be a tactical battle, a physical battle, and it's gonna be a 180 minute battle. It's important to remember the result in Houston isn't as important as the second result. We're definitely aware of that, this isn't our first rodeo."

although if you remember last year
Santos didn't win the US/Canada leg in either of their MLS match-ups last year, they just obliterated both opponents in the home leg. I expect the same here: hard fought draw in Houston, complete domination in Torreon.
 
yeah, they lost the first leg to Seattle and Toronto last year.

I think Houston has to push for goals here, kinda thinking about the over.
 
the mls teams are taking this tournament seriously, the league has actually given all the CL teams off from weekend games this week.

Houston has not lost at their new park, something like 25 games, though this is probably the best team they have faced.
 
who will the fans support??? I know Monterrey is closer to the border, but is there gonna be a huge mexican crowd like usual?
 
good point, probably will be a good bit of fans supporting Santos,

looking on their twitter today, says tickets are still available
 
:dunno:

30 mins before game...lol Concacaf

Dynamo Theory ‏@dynamotheory
No official lineups yet. We'll get them out when we have them. #CCL
 
Total MLS ‏@TotalMLS
Looks like the same XI as Saturday for Houston. No official lineups yet. #CCL #HOUvCSL
 
Last years first leg matches were high scoring...but season before that was not the case.

Thinking of taking Houston,Seattle and Monterrey overs
