A BIT OF HISTORY
Ways of “Bavaria” and “Chelsea” in the Champions League intersectonly once – it is understandable, because significant results began to seek a London club only after it is owned by Roman Abramovich. In the quarterfinals LCH-2004/05 – in the first season at the club Jose Mourinho – two stubborn match victories culminating in each team, brought the final success of the Londoners. House “Chelsea” won 4-2, but the response was still meeting at the “Olympiastadion” in Munich(“Allianz Arena” was opened before the beginning of next season) brought the success of “Bavaria” – 3:2. Moreover, the five playersclogging eight years ago in Munich, still plays a Bastian Schweinsteiger.The “Chelsea” of the two players – Frank Lampard scored in the 2005″Bavaria” three goals, Didier Drogba – two.
“Bavaria” and “Chelsea” this season are very similar. Bayern were a failure on the domestic scene – but as yet be called a lost second consecutive championship with a humiliating defeat in the Cup final in Germany. At the same time it should be noted that the Dortmund “Borussia” furnish “Bavaria” in both tournaments, has a much more modest financial resources, and far less star cast.
Londoners who are feverish throughout the season, won the Premier League only in sixth place, and only victory in the Champions League will ensure their participation in the next draw of the tournament. Won the FA Cup is hardly a strong argument in favor of the coaching staff, Roberto Di Matteo. Well, Andre Villash-Boasha at all now, no one remembers.
Similar to the “Bavaria” and “Chelsea” and his way to the finals. More precisely, the semi-final confrontations. Both teams met with their rivals, considered in pairs unconditional favorites. However, the “Real” and “Barcelona” definition of a good time champion Spain and the bombardier duel Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and Munich and the London club at the cost of enormous losses vygryzli right to play in the final match of the Champions League.
On the loss separately: Semi-final matches abounded disciplinary punishments, so that before the final contenders for two are immediately disqualified seven players. Much more serious loss of Londoners who have no one to play defense. However, injuries of David Luiz, Gary Cahill and John Obi Mikel, like, not so serious, to prevent them from playing in the final match. But Florent Malouda in the box just is not worth waiting. Suffered a loss and defensive line, “Bavaria”, but Munich is, who replaced the retired players. Good chance to express themselves in such an important match, for sure, will Anatoly Tymoschuk.
12th and 13th of May “Bavaria” and “Chelsea” closed domestic season.Bayern in the final match for the National Cup in Berlin have been humiliated, “Borussia”, and played a “Bavaria” basic structure. But the “Chelsea” in a meaningless game of the final round of the championshipin the far from ideal at home beat ‘Blackburn’. And Jupp Haynkes andDi Matteo gave the play all disqualified for the finals of the Champions League, as if afraid to open at least a modicum upcoming tweaks.
The current finale, indeed, can become a great tactical confrontation.Both teams will perform in the weak formulations. Both did not take acharacter, which was confirmed by semi-final matches. So, come to the fore coaching skills, which have Haynkesa, of course, higher than that ofDi Matteo. Perhaps that’s why bookies do not believe Londoners, offering fabulous prizes in the event of a successful bet on the “Chelsea”.
Jupp Haynkes: “I believe that the chances of the two teams are equal,but I want to believe that the home stadium will give us a slight advantage. Playing the final in their own stadium – it is somethingfantastic and extraordinary. Surely, this event will go down in history and we should not miss the opportunity to win. ”
Roberto Di Matteo: “We have a good team. The team that could go so far, despite the participation in three tournaments. We wanted to win all the competitions, and everyone who came out on the field, gave himselfto win. In the end, we again will do everything in our power – the team as a whole and each player individually. “
– “Bavaria” has won all seven games in the “Alliance-Arena” in thecurrent draw of the Champions League, including a meeting with the “Zurich” in the fourth qualifying round.
– If successful, Bayern will win its fifth Champions League and catch upon this indicator, “Liverpool”. Most often in the most prestigious club tournament in the world won only “Real” and “Milan”.
– Franck Ribery in the current Champions League gets more than anyone else – against French opponents 42 times violated the rules.This, however, did not prevent Ribery with five gears to become the bestassistant to the tournament, along with Kaka, Messi, Karim Benzemaand Nicolas Gaytanom. In the final, Frank can get a clean first place on this indicator.
– “Chelsea” but once he took the upper hand at a party in the currentdraw of the tournament. A total of six visits to Germany only once, andLondoners were able to achieve victory. It happened in the eighth finalsLCH-2003/04 in Stuttgart.
– In the group stage matches and the playoffs and the Cup of the Champions League, “Chelsea” in the history of his speech, missed 96balls. Perhaps, in Munich, the anniversary of the 100th goal.
