The Bayern Munich defender is eager to face an attacking http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the final of the UEFA Champions League.
Bayern Munich defender, Jerome Boateng, has insisted that Chelsea will not be as defensive in the final of the Champions League as they were in the semi-final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. He mentioned that the Blues cannot afford to relax
in the final and must play attacking football in order to have any chance of winning the crown.
Boateng stated that the Stamford Bridge outfit will definitely suffer with 11-men at the back. He mused that Bayern have sufficient resources upfront which could break Chelsea’s defence at will. The defender was confident that
the visitors will find it hard to break Munich’s defence with their counter attacking display.
The defender himself spent a year in English football with Manchester City and is aware of Chelsea’s style of play. He will definitely be a great help to his teammates and the manager while devising a strategy to tackle with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294
Di Matteo’s men.
While talking to Bild, the Reds defender further added: "There is no magic formula, so I don't think Chelsea will play in the final as they did in the semi-finals against Barcelona. The barricade will not be safe with 11 men in
front of their own penalty area. I'll leave it to our scouts to come up with a plan."
On the other hand, Boateng also commented on the suspension of three of Bayern’s first team starters. The Allianz Arena outfit will be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Alaba-c10416 and Holger Badstuber for the final while Chelsea will miss
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-Meireles-c30678.
"I think that the referee lacked a bit of common sense. The cards were very harsh, and I feel very sorry for the others,” Boateng concluded.
Both Chelsea and Bayern will lock heads this month on May 19 at the Allianz Arena. Bayern defeated Real Madrid on their way to the final while Chelsea got better of reigning European champions, Barcelona.
The Bavarian giants are currently second in the Bundesliga with 70 points while the Stamford Bridge outfit are sixth in the Premier League.
