Chelsea defensive! Chelsea played negative! And there are many other accusations. The supporters of Barcelona one should not condemn the tactics of the Blues game last night, piling up nine players even when the new Xavi hold the ball.
Hostility is then reflected in the writings of the Catalan origin of mass media, Sport. They boldly stated that Barca deserved to win more. Conversely, as the club accused Chelsea of vulgar, cowardly, timid, and do not deserve to win. Sport may be considered, Chelsea has called the entire city of London to play in their back row.
Tactics "park the bus" Chelsea did make Barca frustrated since the first leg. But Pep Guardiola himself was reluctant to comment on the opponent's defensive tactics. The man who was a quarterback Los Cules in the era of the 90s would rather comment on the final settlement of his team, the utilization efficiency opportunities.
Guardiola could be true. Barca did manage to make two goals against Petr Cech before dawn. However, when they need more success in taking advantage of opportunities, what happens is a penalty that fails, a shot that hit the pole, and a goal is disallowed because of offside. Barca may be cursing their misfortune.
On the other hand, Chelsea finally celebrate after Fernando Torres menggocek Victor Valdes and take them away not only because of away goals, but also the aggregate advantage. Please if you want to judge Torres scored a goal that is worth 50 million pounds. Because the fact is, the goal was made for teams playing in 10 people in a stadium called Camp Nou, and drove his team into the most prestigious European club final.
How can Chelsea win? Answer this question back to defensive tactics such. Some people may be annoyed with such negative football, but others may be praised. Therefore, a defensive tactics still requires high concentration and the risk to invite violations inside or in front of the box. Some might call, last remains an art, as beautiful with the attack.
After all, this is not the first time Barca's face as tight defensive tactics. In 2010, they've been confused by that when Mourinho's Inter Milan still memanajeri. The Special One is known to have a pragmatic and not a tactic or a grip that is really raw. The formulation of strategy is the result of its analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of opponents in detail. Therefore, the direction of Mourinho's teams known to have an organization that neat game - so what is shown on the Real Madrid game against Bayern Munich last week was a rarity.
Mourinho knew, was likely to face a team that had been fed since the academy level pattern high ball possession game with the game open. Beat them in terms of control of the ball is almost impossible. Barca is the team that was too dominant, like the Netherlands in the era of 1974-1978. It would be very tiring if you have to catch a ball that is reflected by the Barca players all over the field. Either wherever they pass, into the empty space as well, they certainly have players in there.
"You have to use other weapons. If you are trying to steal the ball and fail, then you will be exhausted. If you're tired, then you will create spaces that will be exploited them," said Torres, like underlining the weakness that can be used by Barca.
So, this is what Mourinho. Inter knowingly allow Barcelona kept touching the ball. His team is not allowed to do the pressing is too tight to the Barca players. However, on the other hand, they also shut down motion Barca players are able to release passes operand or operand-telling. The result? Barca lost 1-3 at the Giuseppe Meazza and won 1-0 at Camp Nou. That result was enough to bring the La Beneamata appear in the final in 2010.
Replication of these tactics can be seen at the Camp Nou before dawn. Not entirely the same, but almost similar. Chelsea let Barca players up wholly to their field area. Allowed to flow from the foot ball to Lionel Messi and Xavi to side wing. However, at the same time they fulfill the penalty area and the area in front of the box. This tactic makes Guardiola finally decided to use a cross, put Seydou Keita (who plays 183 cm) to help greet passes, but eventually failed as well.
When chasing a goal that's extra, Barca's defense finally collapse. Torres is apt to see a wide open space when all players are in the area of the host team. Ashley Cole then discarded the ball is received by him and, after much left Javier Mascherano, he outwit Valdes and make the entire support team at Camp Nou cheering guests. Once again, Barca defeated by a survival strategy.
Please commend the tireless zeal in dismantling the Chelsea defense did not alter their natural style. Please also praised Chelsea's success throughout the 90 minutes of desperately to survive Barca onslaught. This is football, attacking tactics can not always give the victory. Defensive tactics were legitimate.
Remember also, this is a knock-out phase of the Champions League, where they conceded just one goal could be a fatal impact on a team. A team must have demonstrated a pattern of games that memnjakan eyes, but they must remember, to win they need to not conceded a goal. Especially at home. And this is done by Chelsea.
Regardless, the match at Camp Nou this morning was an exciting treat if it is really observed. Red cards, penalties that failed, plus scored a team that shut down all opposition presented. And as said by Torres himself, "This is football; not always the best team win."
