An Early Exit



What an early exit. Chelsea's Champions League has ended after they were knocked out by Inter Milan and also by their beloved former manager Jose 'The Special One' Mourinho. Chelsea loss 0-1 at Stamford Bridge thanks to Samuel Eto'o's 78th minute goal. (Inter win 3-1 with aggregat) Chelsea only need 1 goal as to win the game as they had an away goal but Inter's side grabbed the decisive goal.

I felt very sad and shocked because this is the first time Chelsea failed to make the quarter-finals in four years. Chelsea clearly dominated the game and had more possession but towards the end of the game, Inter showed a magnificent performance.

The reason why Chelsea loss? It's Ancelotti's tactics. Why did he substitute Yuri Zhirkov for Salomon Kalou and let Malouda to play in left back as Malouda certainly at best with him play as a winger.



Then it was poor refereeing decisions. Chelsea could have won at least two penalty but the referee go in favor of the Italians. It was 'Tom Henning Obrevo's moment' again that cost Chelsea's Champions League dream.



And more important factor tha cause Chelsea's loss, is The Jose Mourinho factor itself. He knows everything about Chelsea players as most of the Chelsea's player played last night, it was him who brought them. And all of his tactics worked very well. In the end, you can't get away from the Special One. If he had lost, he might have lost his title — but once again Jose reminded us why he is the Special One.





p/s : Please come back to Chelsea, Mourinho. We need you. Or bring back Guus Hiddink. Now i'm going to wait for my fellow friends to SMS and 'post something on my wall' on Facebook to 'menganjing' me. Haha.
