L. Blanc amazed by confident performance of players: "We controlled the game"

After the Champions League quarter-final match in Paris, "Saint Germain" coach Laurent Blanc was proud of his players.

"It's very simple. Today we saw two very good teams with different playing philosophies.

"Chelsea" tried to play fast and didn't always want to control the ball, while we did the opposite and could see attacks," the Frenchman said.

"I think a team is less dangerous when they constantly have the ball. I'm not saying control wins matches, but it allows us to impose our style of play on opponents."

"I didn't expect us to show such a confident game away, so I'm very satisfied. We controlled the game and made everything easier for ourselves," Blanc said.
