CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.............. Tha Final
Good day, Good people!
Well! I have to talk a little bit about the rather dull game we watched on saturday for the F.A. Cup final!
It was a poor game. Not much in the way of excitement or good football. For some reason, Sir Alex Ferguson likes to play one up when he plays against the better sides. Its not something that works for him. He usually employs that style of play when he is playing away in the champions league. It doesnt suit Wayne Rooney at-all! He is better coming onto the ball as opposed to playing with his back to goal! Clearly that role would be better filled by Alan Smith, but he isnt a fashionable, big name. United have won only the one away game in the last twelve or thirteen attempts, deploying this system!
Fergie has yet to make the link! Then again maybe I am not in possesion of all the facts, maybe they have not always used the lone front man in that period, but it just doesnt work for united when it matters!
Anyway, on to the big one!
Tonight Milan and Liverpool square up in the Olympic Stadium in the historic city of Athens, The Acropolis watching on. Tens of Thousands of Football fans have made their way to the city for a repeat of the 2005 final. Milan do not believe vengance is part of their motivation, a lie. It will definatly be a factor!
Liverpool on the other hand are in a strangley comfortable position. Win and another amazing chapter in the great history of Liverpool FC will be written, Loose, and you can say, well, we beat you last time....
All the Bookies are making Milan the favourites. Seven of Milan's Likely starting 11 played that night in Istanbul. While Liverpool should have six. In the 2 years since that final, liverpool have strengthened their team and have gained more valuable experience. Milan on the other hand have grown 2 years older. Now that doesnt mean to say that the advantage is with Liverpool. Milan took manchester United apart in the semi finals and no doubt about it, Manchester United are a better team than Liverpool!
They say in boxing styles make fights. And this final has a genuine mystery to it because of that!
Manchester United, even when playing only one up, are an attacking outift. Always trying to stretch the play, Liverpool compress the play and force the opponents outwide. Milan are a down the middle team, which is just where Liverpools strength lies. Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Agger, Carragher.
As long as Liverpool do not allow Milan to control possesion too much, and give support to whoever plays up front, likely to be Dirk Kuyt, otherwise the ball will keep coming back and Kaka WILL create and score!!!!
A tense night is in prospect! Fingers crossed Liverpool win!!!
