Fighting spirit

What a game it was! This should be the most exciting game I have ever watched though I haven't watch many games. The game was all about the fighting spirit. Since the Istanbul game, Liverpool has been good at coming back. I think that might be the reason for Adidas sponsoring Liverpool again from July 2006. Impossible is nothing! Since the start of the game, Liverpool had inserted a lot of pressure on Chelsea. This had shown their belief. They were determined and believed themselves. Finally, they scored twice in the first half. I think everyone at that moment thought it happened once again and Chelsea had no way back. I was really surprised about Chelsea's coming back followed by Liverpool's second coming back. After the game, I thought Hiddink does have something special. What did he say to the players in the half time?

However, rubbish defence should not be ignored. Both goalkeepers caused the trouble for their team. Cech used to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world. However, since the serious injuries, he has never played as well as he had been. Conceding the first goal from Aurelio was really embarassing. Later on in the game, he couldn't give any confidence to the team at all. There were a few more occassions where they should have conceded goals because of him. On the other side, Reina has been great for this season. Although he expected Drogba would miss the ball which would then come to the centre, I still think he should have parried it away. Others were some relatively minor mistakes where top teams should avoid but it showed that both teams had grabbed the chances well.

Anyways, congratulations to Chelsea and sorry for Liverpool. In some way, both team played well. It was a good game.
