UCL : BARCELONA vs CHELSEA
-
Talks of the Day :
1. Barcelona may crash out of UCL.
2. Chelsea brave fight-back.
3. For the first time Ghimpheng not unhappy with a draw.
Anyway, had a few hours rest to reflect about the game.
One thing to note about Gudjohnson's celebration when scoring the goal. I was actually quite happy that it was him and not Ronaldinho or Messi or Deco. Dun ask me why.
When he was injured, I saw some Chelsea players showing more concern than his Barcelona team mates.
When Rijkaard rushed out to confront the ref after the game, no one paid much attention. If it was Mourinho........ then HEADLINES.....
Both sides were guilty of diving, Barcelona more so. Actually, diving can reduce injury. By following on the direction of force that was applied, even at the slightest touch, you can control your fall. By trying to withstand a force and attempting to counter it, you may double the impact on your body. So diving is GOOD in a certain sense.
Mourinho master stroke send JT up during injury time. His presence surprised everyone and that was decisive.
Ref was not fair when he allowed only 5min extra time instead of 6min. Initially Rijkaard's reaction was "What???? 6 min. Why so long"
When final whistle was blown short of 1min "What????? Why blow so fast"
Final point to note : Barcelona still can't beat a 11men Chelsea team. -
one thing for sure. lampard will be sleeping in the living room tonight.

Chelsea were the better team. They got more REAL chances. Robben as usual, keep missing 1 on 1 with keeper this season. Robben headed one nicely on the bottom left but was saved. (So close)
Ballack 1st strike was so close towards the left top corner. 2nd real strike was blast high over the bar with no one defending him in the box. (Really wasted)
Lampard got foul in the box where is very obvious but not given.
Barca keeper did well in this match.
There were chances for Barca too but their chances were all played in the middle of the defend where JT defended well which apply pressure to the player.
1st half Barca played better but in the 2nd half Chelsea was clearly the better team which created more chances.
Me to, its a Chelsea win. -
great point made and sending of john terry to act as an extra striker to confuse opposition team and most likely for header and this tatics is called "CB Overlap" Center back overlapOriginally posted by eemtij:Talks of the Day :

Chelsea boss Mourinho mocks Barcelona antics
tribalfooball.com - October 31, 2006
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho steamed into Barcelona last night after 90 minutes of theatrics from the European champs.
Mourinho was furious at Barca's diving and intimidation of Italian referee Stefano Farina.
He rapped: "There were players rolling around the pitch and a lot of yellow cards - and only one team contributed to that.
"It was not an aggressive game but, at times, there were seven or eight players around the referee urging him to give cards.
"It is not easy for him to be under that kind of pressure."
Barcelona skipper Carles Puyol hit back at Mourinho - by claiming that Chelsea had started it.
The Spain defender said: "It was Drogba and someone else who threw themselves to the floor first - I don't care what Mourinho says.
"Chelsea are an aggressive team."
And Barca midfielder Edmilson also had a pop at the Chelsea chief.
He said: "The worst thing about playing Chelsea is having to listen to Mourinho afterwards."
Mourinho slid on his knees pumping his fists after Drogba's 93rd-minute strike.
Barca boss Frank Rijkaard said: "Chelsea play hard though I was surprised by Mourinho's reaction to the goal.
"There was no abuse or insults and I have no complaints with Chelsea."
Ref Farina added SIX MINUTES of injury time at the end.
Rijkaard added: "The extra time was positive for Chelsea. But there is no sense talking about the referee now." -

Chelsea skipper Terry slams "cynical" Barcelona
tribalfooball.com - November 01, 2006
Chelsea captain John Terry slammed "cynical" Barcelona after last night's 2-2 draw at the Nou Camp.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho claimed the Spanish side had "dived minute after minute" and UEFA will have their hands full unpicking another night of controversy.
And Terry blamed the chaos on Barcelona's approach and weak refereeing.
He said: "Maybe Barcelona feel a little bit threatened by us. They were under pressure from their own fans going into the game after losing at Stamford Bridge two weeks ago.
"They are a great side but we are not too sure why they are so cynical. It is a shame when you see world class players trying to get others booked. They tried all game.
"They were waving cards in the referees' face and it is disappointing when he falls for it. He gave everything their way, but the lads stuck together right to the end. The result says an awful lot about us. We showed them what we are really like as a team.
"We have played well here in the last couple of years but last night, with the referee against us and everyone against us, we were the better side.
"I thought we deserved the win, but they are a lot more disappointed than us because they are struggling to qualify.
"There were quite a few things off the ball, especially in the first half, and sometimes the referee is going to miss it. That is what his assistants are for but he was not even speaking to them or going over to have a conversation to see if they saw anything."
Frank Lampard added: "I think you need a referee in these sort of games who can stand up and knows when a bit of contact is a foul and isn't. That is when the frustration comes in. A strong referee can cut that out straight away." -
ya thats what i thought so. the match speaks for itself. kinda of stupid to fight over who started the diving lessonOriginally posted by Rustyhong:Both Chelsea and Barca players got dive. no doubts. LoL ... -
