Schalke<\/a>\u2019s Brazilian striker Edu<\/a> remains optimistic about his side\u2019s chances of proceeding to the Champions League final, despite their two-goal deficit to Manchester United<\/a> heading into Wednesday night\u2019s semi-final second leg at Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Football\u2019s very competitive these days and anything is possible,” Edu told Fifa.com<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old acknowledged the massive achievement the German side has already accomplished by simply making the semi-finals, but sees no reason as to why the club cannot go further.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Reaching the semi-finals and being up there with Europe\u2019s big team is already a major achievement in itself for the club, but we can go further,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The main thing is that we play our game. We left a lot of space last week, and we have to play the ball out quickly along the ground and impose ourselves instead of backtracking.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We managed to surprise Internazionale in Milan and that shows that anything really can happen.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
