The Bayern Munich winger has claimed that the Chelsea side is better than http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and praised the English team’s tactical approach.
Bayern Munich will go head-to-head with London based http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the final of the UEFA Champions League on May 19 at the Allianz Arena. The Munich based outfit downed Real Madrid in the semi-final whereas Chelsea got the better
of defending champions Barcelona in the last four clash.
Ribery claimed that Chelsea are tactically a better side than defending champions Barcelona. He insisted that the Catalans certainly play the better football of the two but the London side is better organised and are tactically
stronger in comparison to Pep Guardiola’s side.
The French international added that Chelsea downed Barcelona because of a stronger strategy and tactical brilliance. He admitted that the Spanish team has the better players than the Blues but the latter is more structured.
“When it comes to the game, Barcelona are stronger. But if you look at organisation, tactics, and set pieces, then Chelsea are better,” he was quoted as saying in an interview to a sports magazine.
The former Olympique Marseille player stressed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo’s team were on the defensive when they took on the attacking Barcelona. He insisted that the English team had a defensive approach throughout the two legs against
the Catalans and admitted that things will be no different when they meet Bayern later this week.
The winger added that it will be difficult for Bayern to get through a well organised team such as Chelsea but he remained confident that the Bavarians have a great chance of winning the competition.
“In the semi-final, Chelsea played like they had to against a team like Barcelona, and in Munich they will take a defensive approach, with a well-organised and compact team. It will be very hard for us,” the player concluded.
Franck Ribery has been in stunning form this season and he has been arguably Bayern’s best player this season. The Frenchman has scored 16 times this season and has further accumulated 26 assists in the 45 games he has played.
