@shankar because if you look at the physical structure of players in chelsea you will see that the long ball strategy works well for chelsea but it wont work for india unless they have such physically strong players...

<P>Well i'll highlight this small area..chelsea are no small spenders..APOEL are an small club and limited finicial muscle ( as compared to d big boys of Europe) , so i understand the defensive ,safety first mindset.. on the other hand we are talking about chelsea. financed by russian oil money, having top coaches ( or ex coaches), world class players.. yet we see 10 players defending their goal area for 90 minutes.</P>
<P>BArcelona could have very well just defended at their home match after leading and waited for a counter to punish chelsea..bet even while leading they always attacked, you can call them purists who now have suffered and lost d CL. Holland never won d WCup but i will always remeber Holland play mesmerising,exciting skillfull football , i remeber BFC attacking attitude.. i will always remeber chelsea as a drab dour , boring team to watch..that "luckily" won d CL with a penalty shoot out..</P>
<P>only chelsea fan will love wat they did..Even a neutral supporter will always bring up this farce of defending with 10 men..may be if chelsea had attcaked a little bit more , opened themslves up , you could say , yess they attcaked and they defended well also , job well done...not this rubbish wat they played..</P>
