Luizronaldo, I agree with you. Its a very conservative approach to play defense when you scored just one goal, and then sit back and let the opposition get you. This way, the opposition team gets plenty of opportunity to have a go at you, figuring out a way to break the deadlock, through various chances. Most likely they will score at the end of the day. Therefore I agree with prominent football pundits who say, "attack is the best form of defense". Italians are ideal to situations like this, but they have a tremendous defense, and it has worked for them plenty of times during their history of defensive football. The one instance, I remember was in the semi-final encounter against the Dutch at Amsterdam Arena in the Euro 2000. It was an outright defense against one of the best attacking offense and in their home turf. But that day, Italian defenders in the likes of Maldini and Nesta showed as all thier unbreakable prowess, and prevailed. Being an Orange Army, I admired their skills. But it was definitely a conservative approach. But, we have to be very careful to criticize when it works. Chelsea are a formidable line up. I think the return of Robben will see them being the attacking side that they are. Mourinho, the only bad apple, in a bunch of exciting players, will come out firing on all cylinders in their next match up. They have I think the better chance of lifting the Euro Championship than any other team. They are definitely missings the organized and entertaining football that took them to the prime of the English premiership, through Robben and Duff. Credit however should go to Frank Lampard, as football writers keep telling us, the game will be won and lost in the midfield. Ballack, is a much better midfielder in my opinion than Lampard. But Frank Lampard at the moment has a desire, drive and skills that far outweighs anything that Ballack could do, or Ronaldinho could have done, in their last encounter against Barcelona.
