Wall in the mid-field hobbles Barcelona's show

Barcelona-Chelsea duel promised much, but the game was nothing as we suppose it would be. Much of blame can be assigned to Chelsea, because it has showed very deference to his opponent. The display was well played, but ended without goals. The void leaves everything open for the second hand of the half-final of Champions League.
If Guardiola promised that Barcelona would be stick to its philosophy and it
Really has, the same can not be said of Guus Hiddink. The Dutch coach said that Chelsea was not team to play in pleading, but it was exactly was we saw in the game.
Before a Barcelona that has given spectacle after spectacle, the blues decided to be realistic and worry with that situation, above all, to prevent the opponent to play. With a five elements’ wall in the mid-field, and Drogba 'abandoned' in the front, Chelsea managed to avoid the situation of Barcelona create clear goal. Bosingwa was the 'police' of Messi, and fulfill the task very well. The Argentine also has tried other areas, but never managed to unbalance.

PS: The void pleases Chelsea, but leaves everything in open for the second hand. In Stamford Bridge, the 'blues' will play in a more open way, and Barcelona, as we know, play the same way in all fields. However, Pep Guardiola will have to get round Puyol’s absence (punished) and the most likely absence of Márquez (injured).
