actually, I only watched the second half. so my comments as
such.
firstly, I did not see Ronaldino rocks as most of you said only
after Larsson came in, Eto went to left, did Ronaldino has more of
a roving role.
secondly, Geremi was doing a good job on him. Moanhino did one
thing right by putting a more physical player on him.
thirdly, Messi is fanastic, but I like to tend that Chelsea's left
back, was having a fanastic game too. but he was tired as he was
surging to support the attack while covering Messi. If it was
11-11, things would have been different.
the pitch did serve chelsea purpose to slow down Barca's attack.
but later it did not help chelsea when they tried to attack through
robben. so double-edged sword.
lastly, we have a referee that is so erratic that both sides can't
complain cause he gives advantages and disadvantages to both sides.
but at least other than the red card, he was quite okie.
I think I notice, it seems when the ball is in the 6yard areas,
chelsea players tend to use their hands to stop the ball. I believe
it is intentional, but it seems to be happening quite often. Like
Terry or Gallas. It is the way they jump to block the ball. I wish
the referees were clearer in this.
best result of the night. Chelsea 1 - Barca 2.
Chelsea needs to score 2 in Nou camp.
