But more on topic - I backed Chelsea tomorrow. Yes that's right. I'm sitting here typing this, drinking, wearing my diego forlan atletico madrid jersey and contemplating if I've made a huge mistake. I hate myself right now.
This happens in the champions league every few years - atletico has had it's fairytale run. I think it ends tomorrow. Chelsea is just way too solid, and they really impressed me with their tactical dismantling of a liverpool side that was unbeaten in 2014. In Chelsea's second leg match against PSG, John Terry said that Mourinho had drilled into each player a specific game plan which they would implement depending on every imaginable scenario that could occur in that leg. When you have someone who is that much of a throwback to football's early mastermind coaches, and when you see him patrolling those sidelines in third-world country clothing with that sunken, coked-up expression and that 5-day stubble, it's hard not to admire someone who is so compelled to win; so proud to be the greatest mind in the today's game.
Chelsea to advance tomorrow @ 1.94. If you want value, Chelsea to win to nil @ 3-something.
BOL small sons.
