Stamford Bridge will decide who is the next finalist in the Champions League. The ultra-defensive system and slacker who organized Hiddink at the Nou Camp came purpose. Before the confrontation, given the profile of the coach and his statements saying they would play the attack could envisage an open game with two teams ready to win. The final result and the play of his team showed signs that the Dutch coach was now clear that no one may play the Barca attack. Those who have tried have left get hurt. And at this stage of competition, this risk is to die in the attempt.
But now comes a series of questions and they open a debate. "Hiddink used the same strategy in London? Does your approach is offensive, since it must make to qualify and play at home? It's hard to know what you plan Hiddink but each of us probably already have your opinion. For me, Hiddink will pose a very defensive game like last Tuesday but with some variation. At the Nou Camp match gave his players the slogan that every ball that was cleared around the area to avoid the pressure to lose balls Blaugrana. At Stamford Bridge are required to mark and will be forced to get the ball under control or play direct football. Resorting to the pitch would not make much sense. This may be one of the differences in strategy with respect to that applied in Barcelona. Another key point is the injury to Marquez. One of the biggest problems all season for the coaches who have faced the club has been taken out not getting the ball under control from behind to keep the ball arrives at midfield or to cause an error on defense. If not Marquez, is Piqué. Both are able to build the game from behind and teams can not afford to cover both the ball out, because the next line, with Xavi and Iniesta, would be too exposed. In this case, only you can make these function Piqué. I was very surprised Hiddink did not do something to prevent Piqué contruyera from behind. Perhaps looking to climb too, and get some space by mounting a counter, but the fact is that Pique was an alternative, construction, too dangerous to Chealsea. Hiddink will surely taken note about it and ordering its central front to pressure the Blaugrana.
A Marquez's injury was joined Puyol's yellow card, which cumulatively may not be in the game. Guardiola will have to redirect this line and secure his election will not be easy. There are two options that start with an advantage. Abidal in central and left back Silvinho or central Caceres Abidal the left side. Both one as the other, has many doubts. Cáceres not have enough experience to play a game of this category and has even been nervous minor parties make mistakes, which if repeated in this match could mean elimination. Abidal is not convincing as a central player, despite playing regularly in this position with your selection. French is much given to making entries in this position and committed an error of measurement could be a penalty. Guardiola If I were I would choose the first option (Abidal and Silvinho), for me is the least bad. In addition, the club must check and always gives more Silvinho options that the French attack down the left flank.
Regarding the Barca game I am convinced that will not change too much about his approach. And it should be. Barca have their style and are the other teams must find ways that can not be developed. Exactly what happened at the Camp Nou. Chelsea won the game by blocking its defensive rigor and many kicks. And this was joined by a boat with some clear ideas on how to overcome the defensive wall did not have an Eto'o and Messi his day completely off. Sean
as are the approaches, we expect an exciting and vibrant party is becoming almost a classic of the top European competition. Hopefully the outcome of this story does not resemble that of the famous battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066 that marked the end of the Viking era thanks to the victory of the English. At that same battle the Viking King Harald Hardrada said something that could easily be his Pep Guardiola's strategy in response to fearful of Hiddink in the first leg:
-
- In the battle we must never hide
- behind the shields ...
- My armor I said, Lift up your head,
- where the sword is the skull.
