Most of the Barcelona football club fans were critical that Chelsea parked the defensive bus in front of their goal and cynically keep defending for the ninety minutes. Well for all the Barcelona's football club fans here is an invitation - Please parks the bus at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea will score.
Any body for the taking, well the shoe is now on the other foot and believe you me Barcelona will be found wanting in the second leg. They can't break a five men defense unlike nine men defense at Nou Camp and will concede goals from outside the box from where they even failed to mount a decent shot at Peter Cech goal in full ninethy minutes in the first leg of Champions League Semi final 2009.
The defensive frailties of Barcelona will be all there for display at the Stamford bridge when the attacking full backs of the Barcelona will be confined to their half with Chelsea's wide attacking players and the weakened central defense due to absence of Marquez and Puyol will be shaky against the power and speed of Drogba.
Parking a bus is not easy thing in football that too for a full ninety minutes at a pitch which seems like twice the size of Stamford Bridge and with players touted as the best three in the world at the moment. For Chelsea the hard part of keeping a clean sheet at Nou Camp is already achieved and now it is the quest to score two goals in the first twenty five minutes at Stamford Bridge and defend aggressively using the upper body strength.
Two players who need to be cautious in the coming match is Ballack and Ivanovich, Ballack for the yellow card and Ivanovich for tacking the speed of Henry on left flank as I won't be surprised if Boswinga again neutralize Messi in his own game of coming inside and taking the ball on his left foot.
