Chelsea take a lead into the Champions League semi-final second leg, with the manager plotting a tactical masterclass
“It just feels like a longer half-time, that’s all it is,” said Emma Hayes matter-of-factly about the week-long wait between Chelsea’s 1-0 Champions League defeat of Barcelona and the second leg at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.
“We’re at the midway stage of a game that’s a minimum of 180 minutes long. There may be adjustments for half-time and we’re ready for the second half, that’s how I present it to the players.”
