If i knew today was a match day, then may thunder strike me dead. This is ho we swear in my place, nothing bad really. How about that for a wish for oneself. I really did not know that the 1st leg of the champions league semi-final was already upon us. What this means is that i have not prepared for today, but i guess i could be pardoned.
My club, Manchester United is not playing until tomorrow. But the thing with me is that i love watching real good football such as the one played by Liverpool in the champions league.
Okay, so i now suddenly realize that the last 4 of the world’s leading club competition starts today, and that Liverpool will for the 4th season in a row try to outdo Chelsea at this stage of the champions league. Can they do it?
I am neither a fan of the 2 clubs, but if you ask me, i think Liverpool will take the day again.Lets look at it this way.
The same group of players that played for Chelsea will probably still play for them this time around, albeit they might be more motivated to not allow the same team triumph over them for the 4th time in a row.
Liverpool on the other hand still basically the same group of players, but with the addition of arguably the deadliest, fastest striker in Europe besides Christiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres.
Torres is a nightmare for any defender on his good day, and he doesn’t have many off-days. He is a real poacher.
Didier Drogba has not really been the man we knew him to be. He hasn’t scored much goals this season either in the premier league or in the champions league this season. The mid-field is going to be stuffy, both teams have a compact mid-field, and it will take sheer pace and accuracy for this match to be won.
On the whole, i think that Liverpool packs just the right punch to win this match on both legs. But like they say, the journey of a million miles starts with a step. First leg out of the way first, and we will have the right pointers.
