Last night was dejavu of an Inter Milan vs Barcelona semi final. It's as if Di Matteo asks Mourinho for a copy of the tape. What's more scary, the events happened almost to the tee. The order earlier that day: find someone who can get us a bus so we can park it in our half and find the closest luck doctor so the whole team can go consult.
On the other hand, what did Barcelona expect? For Chelsea to just play attacking football to the last minute? To have Lampard or Ramirez attack without blinking twice? It was obvious that the whole Chelsea team played out of their comfort zone. I mean who would be comfortable playing only 20% of the ball throughout the whole match. That means that for every 10 passes you only get to touch once. Tell a kid that's the rule of the game, and he'll run back to mommy to tell on you.
So with the Chelsea drinking their sore 2009 wounds away at the nearest pub, we they honestly think a single goal is enough at the Nou Camp? I mean if Chelsea play like this at home, what tactics are they going to apply away from home? I far as I checked, it's very expensive to ship a school bus across the sea and their luck doctor might not get its visa approved in time. The other option to try and get a school bus in Spain, but 'lost in translation' might just get you a mini van.
So come next Tuesday, we shall witness what could be the turnaround of Chelsea or the obvious result that even the luck doctor might have to concede.
