One Sad thing is that the british media always hypes things and we poor fans beleive that is true and assume the english football is all and eveything not even looking at the strenghts of other teams.At least we need to look other leagues to differentiate between 'soccer' flair and consistency and 'football' winning even if it is 9-1 format.I also realise 90% are supporters who watch EPL and cant differentiate about the passion of football.
Someone says chelsea were 'robbed' thats crap of the highest order by the british media and chelsea anti-football hiddink tactics. Look at the system which chelsea was playing in Camp Nou and Stamford,Ball possesion was almost 65% - 37% even in stamford bridge untill Abidail was red Carded,Yes chelsea got chances from breaks and counter attacks and defending 10-1. Barca were red carded in the 70's minute and chelsea did not find a break to kill the game and barca was still possesing the ball and dominating the field.Simply Hiddink tactic was to defend and not to attack but wait for break( what a shame for chelsea playing that football,its more than Italian Catanacio by far...yet you claim chelsea were robbed???Abidail card was a yellow but was given a red card,what about that?
Drogba was playing sissy football and found a strong figure in the name of Yaya Toure and squandered his chance he got..why were they not furious before,its only when magical Andreas Iniesta sent the cattanicio wannabes home,when the 'fury started'. Chelsea thrashed two offsides during their 4-2 victory against barca last meeting at the bridge but there want any hullaballoo. Today chelsea were beaten by 10 men(played with 10 men for 20+min and couldnt score,Still barca dominated the game). Which injustice did you fans see?
Talking of the cup going to theatre of dreams is thinking of EPL,guys C'mon this is UEFA Champions League.And Man will play soccer with Barca,they know the capabilities of each other last time it was a 1-0 win at trafford and a weak barca team,just guess this time round how the battle will be.
One thing is that the pride of beautiful soccer has been preserved and the anti-football should go and play with Sampodoria and the likes in Serie B.
Man v/s Bar(the best two teams in europe,talent and skills) it will be SILKY ROMANCE v/s BEAUTIFUL FLAIR soccer which will be played.
HARD WORK,HARD WORK HARD WORK
