Eintracht Frankfurt’s libero Makoto Hasebe shared his thoughts after the 1 – 1 home draw with Chelsea in the 1st leg of the Europa League semifinals on 2 May.

Regarding the 1 – 1 scoreline, Hasebe said, “Well, it’s not a bad result” and furthered, “Chelsea are a rank higher than the teams we’ve faced so far, and it showed tonight. It’ll be a difficult game next Thursday. But we’ve said that about all our matches so far and we’ve been able to win them, so anything can happen in London.”

On the other hand, he was disappointed with the chances they rued. “We created a few chances. We could have been more clinical. The result would have been better for us had we done that,” he said.

Frankfurt will travel to Stamford Bridge to play the second leg on 10 May.
