I predict a bus vs bus final.

He might not play

As Jose said, for each Team a different strategy...let's watch and see!

In Jose you trust, wish you well. My team was humuliated at home yesterday!

So now it seems Brendan Rogers is the guru of football strategy & tactics on Wazua. Hmmmmmmm, hope this doesn't burst your fragile bubbles:

Jose Mourinho claimed vindication last night for his tactics at Anfield as he revealed that the Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, had called him on Tuesday to admit his approach was right. After Sunday’s game, Rodgers had scorned Mourinho’s approach as “easy to coach” but on Tuesday he congratulated the Chelsea manager, who said that Sunday’s disagreement had been forgotten, and that tactics that were not pragmatic were “stupid”.

“Brendan is a manager and is somebody I consider my friend,” Mourinho said at his press conference before Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final with Atletico Madrid. “Of course I know his words after the match, but I also know his words today, and today he told me congratulations for a great victory and a great performance. Because I consider him a friend and someone I like, I prefer to forget the words after the match and I keep today’s word. He’s an intelligent guy. He watched the match for sure on video and, now, I think he understood what happened.”

Chelsea and Real have the same approach - sit back and counter when a chance presents itself, the only difference being Ronaldo

UCL this season has taught us that park the bus is better than tiki taka, counter attack better than possession football!!!!

In two semi finals in in two consecutive seasons the tiki taka has been cruelly exposed(7-0,5-0). Pep must look for a plan B.

So now you know who calls Mourinho and who doesn't? Typical Arsenal supporter...

Anyways, you keep chasing the so called "beautiful" game while others keep winning trophies.

@Angelica _ann.....I think you probably misunderstood me, i really enjoyed last night's game....Real were fantastic from the back to the front. What i'm disputing is an attempt by some Chelsea fans to compare Real's tactics to Mourinho's. On one hand you have a team which sits back for almost 90 minutes waiting to capitalize on one single mistake and on the other you have a team with flair that defends and attacks well throughout the match. I actually think Real could have scored more given the chances the created.

"In the late stages of leagues and cup competitions it's about winning or getting through the tie and he's (Mourinho) as good as anyone at doing that, even if the style of football might not be everyone's cup of tea. However, I laugh when I hear people talk about "tactical genius" because that's absolute tosh. I agree with Brendan Rodgers when he says that the tactics Mourinho has employed in the last two matches are the simplest way to play. It's not hard to set up a back four that doesn't go anywhere and a midfield in front of them not going anywhere and look to catch your opponents on the break or from a set-piece - but where Mourinho deserves all the credit in the world is the fact that he has top, top players buying into that approach." Graeme Souness - Good article on Mou's tactics!
