Group D, like all the of Champion league , offers two places for the round of eighth. The one of the Chelsea, “football club” , was adjudged beforehand for the economical reasons that it takes using a certain Roman Abramovich for average decade. For second, the Athletico Madrid was going to struggle with the porto, more customary to arrive at the distant stations of the annual trip, that this time will finish in the Bernabéu the next May. Half-full the passage, the Portuguese escape and the Madrilenian club survives buried in the sadness of the last position. It is not worth the trouble to deepen in the easy thing that it turned out to him to the Chelsea to jump the Spanish obstacle. In these times, to the fan of the Apple orchards it makes tipsy an idiot euphoria to him when they spend 40 minutes and its equipment has not fitted a goal. And more before an equipment like the Chelsea and in London. The bad thing is that always there is minute a 41 and somebody that, in front of the defense rojiblanca, watches a side and sends the ball on the contrary.
The glance of Lampard
Thus Lampard at that prophetic moment did to qualify to Ashley Cole by the left track. Antonio Lopez, who struggled with Salomon Kalou, yielded before the native from Ivory Coast, that escaped with power to end, without concessions, to won portería of Sergio Aguero.
When there is goal against, in these times so repeated, not only the fan rojiblanco falls of blue the celestial one and he submerges in brown the dark. The worse thing is than the player succumbs and revive that experience without exit, similar to the one of a delirum tremens, catched in frightful hallucinations.
In Stamford Bridge not even it removed to him from the critical moment to moor in the rest with a 1-0 that was not so terrible so him it could have fallen. Nevertheless, the Madrilenian equipment returned to the turf with the died bore, lost in the electrical blue infinite of the t-shirts of the Chelsea.
If in first stage of the party the Athletico had urged on with a pair of counterstrokes, two shots of Forlán to the frame of Peter Cech and some arabesque pinturero of Simao and of the Kun Omen, after char it of Abel, there was if it, all of illusion and undressed amojamados, parched players of hope reappeared.
The Chelsea decided not to sweat too much and fit immediately a comfortable marker that closed the fight: the serve of habitual corner in the wood of that shaked one's head without Kalou fear to increase to the production and the third party arrived in a firing “made in Lampard there” that the captain has lavished throughout its splendid professional trajectory. The shutdowns of Asenjo and the clamorous errors of Kalou in the first time lived already in the forgetfulness.
When, already with Jury, Maxi and Kings in the field, the Athletico had recovered something of tone and of land, at least, to stand against Cech, another launching to stopped ball ended the fourth commotion in the London launching slip: Perea shaked one's head in own puts the last unstoppable ball.
Abel will follow, say, at least until the next Saturday, that is League in house against the Majorca. What it is not probable is that, if ensarta another defeat, remains in the position when the Chelsea visits the Calderón the 3 of November, in the next day of “Champions”.
The Athletico at the present time will have to throw a complicated pulse to him to the weak Cypriot APOEL to secure a place in the competition of the consolation, famous Europe League, before Glass of the UEFA. Today treatment to its soccer paralysis is not watched.
