Boon Athletic at Stamford Bridge
Stamford Bridge was not the best place to raise our heads, it is clear. But this athlete fails to remedy the ills that so often and hit him so hard. It will, perhaps, there is no cure for this chronic disease, because their defensive weakness tray served in Chelsea a game in which first intentions were better than expected Abel game development. Without wasting just football, the England team endorsed a resounding 4-0 to Atletico increasingly lost. Toledo coach played the dismissal and tried his luck with a midfield of three names (unfortunate trivote) and putting the young Dominguez in the center of defense. Nothing, there was no way to channel this disaster.
Not that the mattress had no occasions was-and remains-just a question of talent. Football is played from the board, from the mind and from muscle, not to mention senior issues. Of course it’s hard to judge the work of a team when they face is the mighty Chelsea, but then returned to haunt the feeling that the athletic demerits were pushed to the destination that brings to four the trouble, and get on the plane back Madrid with the distress in the throat, heart, and the boots of his passengers. In such a short time, how the mood changed.
The same arguments were always presented Atletico in London, unless a change tactics, for that to heed accumulated more experience who already warned Ancelotti. It’s hard to take some detail, as this team is permitted to keep lujazo Maxi Rodriguez in the reserve bank. Moreover, the usual. By strengthening the midfield, with Cleber Santana, Raul Garcia and starting Assunçao, stayed out of the line Jurado, and threw the whole of the punch of Madrid Forlan, Simao clairvoyance and dribbled Aguero continued, hoping that six boots emerged with a goal to dream in the barren ground in London. Forlan tried from early distant shot safely to the ‘Kun’ was seen in the controls awkward and was Cléber who tried to join the madness desperate offensive, again without results.
At least, the pressure was thorough, poor but diligent. Ten minutes into the game, the visit began to make sense red and white, but a deflected header from Forlan and an aborted attempt with his left Aguero showed the first signs of ineffectiveness. For the fourth time, Asenjo had already sung loudly and Kalou failed to hit a half-empty door a golden opportunity. Was not bad Atleti in attack, but its excesses gave up the right side again and again with Peter Cech’s gloves. Until the expected occurred. Lampard appeared to be a gap as if it were a virgin, and there he put the ball into the rise of Ashley Cole, who, knowing the unbounded kindness of his friend Antonio López, sent the ball into the small area for Kalou rivet as you want (m. 41). It was 1-0, the beginning of the end athletic.
Grants and gifts aside, any defense that Abel had planted in the field would have failed. The serious problem is the fear to control the game, to possess the ball with his pupils. Thus, it is logical that the defense suffered permanent onslaught, as the only possible combination is the draw of the ball and there not only gain Essien and Ballack but any self-respecting. After the break, Chelsea took seven minutes to assess the Wall rival First Anelka proved to Asenjo with a lash, then the throw ended up in an absurd corner, and finally from the corner was hatched the second offering of Antonio Lopez, who not thought appropriate to strengthen their branding on Kalou and allowed the ivory finish off the far post only to convert the second of the night (m. 52).
Little by little, they were modeled earlier schemes. Jury entered by Assunçao injured, and probably would have faced the last straight line with Atletico nerve if the ‘Kun’ is not thrown overboard had another great scoring chance. Forlan flicked the ball back and let the Argentine only to accelerate, as he likes both, but found the confidence and eventually surrendered to the English goal. Maxi entered by Kleber, but so did a little tight shot from Lampard (m. 69), and 3-0 did not seem more than the natural development of a novel plot without interest. Still, they continued trying the mattress, Aguero and Maxi twice, and then it seemed incredible that no attempt to find more award that Czech goalkeeper’s hands.
All set for a final fling. Hastening the time, launched a free kick from Lampard found right on the head of the Colombian Perea, sweeping back that fails to clear and finally became the fourth own goal Chelsea target (m. 91). There was only exchange the shirt with any crack both rival, the path toward the locker room and absorb the harshness of defeat. Capacity for the possibility of victory, just lacked the conviction and security. The bad time to Forlan and Aguero are the undefined result of ongoing pessimism in this club living. The defense still sinning in the extreme, approaching the dreaded possibility of a return to hell, and although Chelsea were yesterday, the instability does not understand rivals and chapters of terror come to a set that you can not take much more based on sporadic genius.
