Griffon:
Meanwhile, Pedro has become the first player to be transferred between fierce rivals Roma and Lazio in 40 years.

No way Mourinho was going to forgive and forget.

Actually, no transfer happened.

Open your eyes as i confirmed that Jorginho improved and is better than Dayo's Busquets before Lampard left and even in the last Euros. \

Sorry, keep enjoying the Ls, Lukaku gave you through your useless Morata.

airmark:
Tackles? Jorginho has really improved under Lampard.

airmark:


I don't know how he will displace any of Jorginho, Rice, Philips and even those Danes in the midfield, with the way he lost possessions today.

raumdeuter:


Was it under Lampfraud that he was an escort?

I dont know any Lampfraud.

airmark:
I dont know any Lampfraud.

Tuchel vs Mancini who deserves it more, I would say Mancini but Tuchel really did the 'impossible' with Chelsea winning the UCL and finishing fourth, making FA cup finals.

Would love one of Kante of Jorginho to win UEFA award and the other Ballon d'or

He was led astray by his friend. They blamed Jorginho for Lampard's foolishness

Griffon:
Omo eh, we will face Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in January without Mendy. Can we trust that penalty merchant?

Why? Will Mendy be on loan then?

If a “World Cup and CL winner” is worthy of those trophies, their work will speak for them. You won’t need to staunchly drum up support for them.

See midfielders jostling for Uefa best. Thunder fire anyone that brings spineless Busquets near these guys.

Omo, na you get this week Mark

What do you mean by worthy of those trophies? How else will a starter in a CL and world cup winning team be worthy of the trophies

Who will be the unfortunate club to sign the calamitous defender, Boathand bayi?

"...the [2008 UEFA Champions League Final] eventually all came down to penalty kicks. And while a decade or so earlier it was customary to refer to this as the ‘lottery of a penalty shoot-out’, research and opposition scouting had improved considerably, to the point that it was no longer a lottery and more about complex game theory. In a tactical sense the shoot-out was arguably more intriguing than the previous 120 minutes.

As revealed in Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski’s Soccernomics, Chelsea’s penalty strategy appears to have been influenced by the work of Ignacio Palacios-Huerta, a Basque economist who had been recording penalty patterns for 13 years. An academic colleague of his happened to be friends with Chelsea manager Grant, and he put them in touch. Palacios-Huerta then sent Grant a report about United’s penalty habits.

Along with the revelation that the team taking the first penalty in a shoot-out triumphs 60 per cent of the time, there were two crucial points concerning United. First, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar anticipated penalty takers would shoot across their body – he usually dived to his right against right-footed takers and to his left against left-footed takers. Shooting the other way, therefore, made sense. Second, Cristiano Ronaldo tended to pause in his run-up, hoping the goalkeeper would dive early, and after his pause he kicked left 85 per cent of the time. This information nearly worked a treat.

United won both tosses before the shoot-out. It meant that the penalties took place in front of their own supporters and that Rio Ferdinand, as captain, had the choice of whether to kick first or second. Ferdinand, however, was unsure about what to do and turned towards United’s coaching staff, taking some time to make his decision. At this point Chelsea captain John Terry grabbed Ferdinand’s shirt and then pulled at his arm, offering to shoot first. Ferdinand ignored him and, having taken instructions, correctly chose to kick first. The odds were already in United’s favour.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Čech, whose poor penalty-saving record is his only weakness, made only one save in the shoot-out – from Ronaldo. Sure enough, as he approached the penalty, Ronaldo suddenly froze. Čech froze too. There was a momentary stand-off before Ronaldo, as predicted, went left – and Čech dived correctly, beating away the shot.

More fascinating, however, was the direction of Chelsea’s kicks. Four of the initial five penalty takers – Michael Ballack, Juliano Belletti, Frank Lampard and John Terry – were right-footers and seemingly followed Palacios-Huerta’s advice, going right rather than shooting across their body. The only player who did shoot across his body was also the only left-footer, Ashley Cole. That’s what Van der Sar expected and he nearly saved the shot, the wet ball squirming under his body. It meant all five of Chelsea’s penalties were kicked to the same corner.

One of these penalties, however, was off-target. After Ronaldo’s failure, Chelsea would have triumphed had Terry converted Chelsea’s fifth penalty. He approached the kick confidently and chose the correct side, as Van der Sar anticipated him shooting across his body and dived the wrong way. But Terry’s standing foot slipped, he toppled to the floor and his kick bounced back off the post. This was considered nothing more than an unfortunate moment, but the truth was entirely different – Terry had a fatal tendency to slip...

Terry’s miss forced the shoot-out into sudden death. Anderson and Ryan Giggs scored for Manchester United, as did Chelsea’s Salomon Kalou, who followed instructions and kicked right. This meant all six of Chelsea’s penalties were struck into the same corner – five by right-footers following the plan, one by the left-footed Cole disobeying instructions and only just squeezing the ball home.

Next came Nicolas Anelka, another right-footer. By this stage, Manchester United thought they’d deduced Chelsea’s approach – kicking right every time. That wasn’t quite correct, but Cole’s decision to go against the plan gave that impression. On the halfway line, captain Ferdinand was frantically pointing and screaming for Van der Sar to dive that way. The Dutchman, meanwhile, seemed to have deduced the pattern too, and as Anelka waited for the whistle, Van der Sar made a crucial gesture.

For the previous six kicks he’d spread both arms high and wide, as if he was about to start the ‘YMCA’ dance, but this time he pointed towards the corner where Chelsea had sent their previous six kicks, the direction Anelka was meant to be choosing. Did this cause Anelka to change his mind, suspecting Van der Sar had worked out his intentions? He unconvincingly shot across his body and Van der Sar dived that way, making his first save of the shoot-out. United were European champions.

Anelka, inevitably, was made the villain of the piece, but blame should be shared. Terry’s miss was about technique rather than misfortune. Cole going against the supposed plan may have unwittingly caused United to suspect a pattern, even if not quite correctly, enabling Van der Sar to psych out Anelka.

Meanwhile, Didier Drogba’s dismissal five minutes from the end of extra-time for slapping Vidić meant Chelsea were without a key penalty taker. Had he remained on the pitch then Terry would have been spared from taking one of the first five penalties. Indeed, four years later Drogba took the fifth, triumphant kick when Chelsea finally won the Champions League on penalties against Bayern Munich.

Somehow everything about this Moscow shoot-out encapsulated football tactics: research, planning, devising a strategy, players not quite sticking to the strategy, a bit of technique, a bit of luck, a bit of psychology. Chelsea’s tactics were fascinating and entirely logical, yet they still lost."

Jerome Boateng

When will Silva actually win something on the field

Call me When Boateng can boast of half of Thiago Silva's individual awards

raumdeuter:


How old was Vidic when he left Man Utd for midtable Inter?

That one na your problem, below is what I am particular about.

Defending is based on intelligence and positioning and old age is where we separate the good defenders from the pace merchants

raumdeuter:


In 2014 Boateng came to Silvas fatherland and lifted the trophy with the type of final performance that Silva will never achieve in 2 lifetimes

Jérôme Boateng 9

Made a vital clearance after a surging run from Messi and was always quick to snuff out danger. Quick, calm and authoritative, his displays in Brazil have been a revelation and he was man of the match
Jérôme Boateng was man of the match, Lionel Messi menaced the German defence and Philipp Lahm ran riot

Jerome Boateng (Defender) - 9

Jerome Boateng
Got better as the match progressed. Made a number of important tackles and clearances after initially being troubled by the pace of the Argentine counter-attacks. The Bayern centre-back was dominant and was Germany's star performer. Man of the match.

Rio Ferdinand's view: "Boateng was immense today."
