Hard work results in luck at the right times, so Chelsea's effort was quite brilliant, although they did have their share of luck. That's the same luck that Inter had, and Celtic had.

In fact, only Chelsea has held them in recent memory. Celtic really did not play that way in either leg, and Inter got lucky 2 yrs ago, with an offside goal in 1st leg and an unfairly disallowed Barça goal 2nd leg. <br />Meaning "parking the bus" is a good tactic if you have very disciplined players, and if the other team has no plan B, as you say (air balls, high centres, give away possession and counter as well). But only one pure and correctly executed example of the tactic can be found in recent years: Chelsea's semi finals vs. Barcelona last year.Jeffrey Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040094259819120441.post-29163861587640123292013-03-13T05:39:41.358-07:002013-03-13T05:39:41.358-07:00Good analysis.
