UEFA Champions League: Semifinal Leg 1 Chelsea vs Liverpool FC April 25, 2007
rehat 2 minggu setelah menang atas PSV dgn aggregat meyakin-kan 4-0, Liverpool ketemu Chelsea (lagi) di semifinal Champions League musim ini…
vs 
2 penampilan sebelum midweek ini, Liverpool menang 2-0 (thanks to Gerrard) atas Middlesbrough dan 2-0 (thanks to Kuyt) atas Wigan…Chelsea, pada game setelah menang dramatis atas Valencia, masih terlalu kuat buat West Ham…mereka menang 4-1 di kandang lawan…yg di luar duga-an adalah ketidak mampuan pemain2 Chelsea dalam memenangkan game vs Newcastle tadi malam…kaya nggak ada gairah gitu deh maen-nya (gue pikir Liverpool doang yg (kadang2) maen-nya kaya gitu…hehehe)…
total pertemuan Rafa vs Mourinho di semua ajang sejak mereka ber-dua ber-kiprah di English Premier League adalah Rafa menang 4 kali; draw 3 kali; Mourinho menang 6 kali…Rafa lebih men-dominasi di ajang Cup (FA & Champions League termasuk Community Shield) sementara Mourinho lebih mantap di ajang Premiership…

rotasi yg di-jalankan Rafa seperti-nya memang menuai-kan hasil yg positif…pada pertandingan terakhir tanpa Gerrard pun penampilan Liverpool udah mantap…Alonso, Sissoko, Mascherano pun nggak di setiap game maen…di depan pun Crouch lagi2 on fire setelah hattrick ke gawang Arsenal…Bellamy setelah injured, pada game kemaren udah mulai nyetel lg sama Kuyt dan (terutama) Gonzales…

"We were able to rest Steven Gerrard, use him towards the end, and still win. That is an improvement for us. "It has been perfect preparation. But we know Chelsea are a very good team and we know also we have to use all the squad in such games. "All our players are ready. We do not fear Chelsea, but we have respect for them. In a competition like this, everyone is motivated - it will be a tough game for everyone." |
Chelsea di game terakhir keliatan buntu, nggak bisa nembus Newcastle…beberapa peluang seperti-nya lewat begitu saja…padahal kalo mereka bisa menang, defisit angka bisa jd beda 1 sama MUtd…well, bisa jd game terakhir itu bikin bete yg nggak abis2 atau justru bisa jg jd pemicu buat vs Liverpool ini…
dah, ah…
my start:
Pepe
Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Arbeloa
Pennant, Alonso, Mascherano, Riise
Gerrard
Crouch
sudah terbukti kalo Crouch bisa bikin repot barisan belakang Chelsea…mudah2an dgn Gerrard yg ada di belakang striker dan sumbangan umpan2 lambung dr kiri ataupun kanan, Crouch bisa mantap mem-borbardir gawang Chelsea…sementara di tengah 2 holding midfielder Liverpool bisa me-netralisir semua serangan…
khusus Arbeloa: seperti hal-nya vs Barca, Arbeloa tampak lugas di-pasang di sisi kiri pertahanan…dan ampuh me-matikan pergerakan Messi…mudah2an vs Chelsea nanti pun bisa sukses mati-in pergerakan J. Cole ataupun SWP…
rock on…

“It was a really good preparation for Wednesday. The idea was to finish in the top four and we have now finished in the top four. “Now the target is to finish in the top three. We were able to rest some players, score some goals and I don’t think that we’ve picked up any injuries.” |
mmhhh…satu keuntungan Liverpool adalah Liverpool nggak harus ber-bagi konsentrasi se-banyak Chelsea…
saat ini Liverpool masih harus fokus di 3 pertandingan terakhir Premier League (sama sih sama Chelsea) karena posisi Liverpool masih blom aman di urutan 3 klasemen tapi udah aman di zona Champions…sementara Chelsea masih mungkin untuk dapet Quadraple (mudah2an sih nggak 
, eh bener ya "empat" teh "quadraple" pan…?), lewat perjuangan yg di-pasti-in nggak bakalan bisa di-bilang mudah…
mudah2an nggak bikin Rafa dan squad-nya jd jumawa…

nggak pernah nge-bayangin kalo Chelsea bisa dapet 4 gelar dalam 1 musim…dan mudah2an memang nggak bakalan pernah kejadian…aahhh…hajar aja lah…
