For the sake of football

For the sake of football, Barcelona must beat Chelsea, blasts Van der Sar

Former Holland and Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar says he hopes Chelsea lose to Barcelona in the Nou Camp after their negative tactics in the first leg.


While the Blues have been praised for their defensive display by their fans – the reaction around Europe has been quite different.


And two time Champions League winner Van der Sar hopes that Barca get the better of Chelsea with their attacking style of play on Tuesday night.

Is it really for the sake of football or for the sake of ur former club who cannot beat the so-called "best team in the world" bro? ptuihhhhh!!!

I just like this two comments for this posts:

You play the best way you can against better teams an if it means shutting them down and playing a negative game then so be it, what would you rather them do roll over and let the better teams walk all over you? No, you choose your tactics and then after the game sit back and wait for the negative comments come in from people like this idiot. We know what it’s like at Stoke with these sort of comments we have had them for the last four year. Idiots. And good luck to them when they go to Spain.

What a ridiculous opinion from VDS. Chelsea played to their strength. In order to win a game you have to play to your strengths and the opponents weaknesses, i.e. defending deep in numbers and punting long balls. I hope Chelsea go to the final, who wants the same team winning every year?? This group of players deserve to have won this competition at least once in the last 8 years. And with regards to 'Chelsea just got lucky': ok well yes they were slightly fortunate but consider this... Messi - 7 shots - 1 on target - 1 off target and 5 blocked. The last minute shot that hit the post was deflected by Ivanovic and Cole onto the post. YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK. Good luck on Tuesday Chelsea

ALL THE BEST TO THE BLUES.. COME ON CHELSEA...KTBFFH!!!
