Re: Steaua v Chelsea > Thursday 7th March
No matter how many things I do not like about Steaua, no matter how many I do like, but the thing is that Steaua made the best football match of a Romanian side in many years by now when they hosted Ajax, probably like the one they had with Valencia in 2005 when they won 2-0 and eliminated the Bats on the penalties.
This is about Steaua game play: sacrifice spirit, attacking football and a great atmosphere in the standings. Ok, Steaua has the best football players in Romania (with just few exception) and a very good coach as abilities of negotiating the hot moments and with some German spirit of never gaving up.
Ok, if Erikssen would have scored in the first 15 minutes from 6 m, Steaua would have been out for sure.
Ajax is not Chelsea anyway and will be having a different game.
Chelsea will come here to take something from this season, can win the UEFA Europa League, no doubt about that, but will they be able to do it?
I think they realize that on Stamford bridge will be very weak this year cause the fans are not wanting Benitez and the pressure is huge there.
This is why I think they will push for a win here.
Ba will not play, but I think will need to dominate the midfield which they can do it and the match will be theirs!
