Aaron Meadows Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 hehe. New it would come. And here it is ! Updated: Feb. 23, 2006 Mourinho: Sending off changed everything Jose Mourinho insists the referee's decision to send off Asier del Horno condemned Chelsea to defeat against Barcelona. MikeHewitt/GettyImages Mourinho vents his fury at the fourth official Mourinho's Blues were beaten in the first leg of their last 16 Champions League knockout against the Spanish league leaders. They played more than half the game with 10 men after Del Horno was controversially sent off for a foul on Barca's Lionel Messi in the 37th minute. Mourinho said: 'The fact that we had to play 10 versus 11 when it should have been 11 versus 11 changed everything. 'To play with 10 is always difficult, even against a small team. Against a good team, of course it's more difficult. 'We had to face them again with 10 players - not for a small period of time. 'You can have the energy to do it for 10 or 15 minutes but to play for 50 minutes with one player less, it's difficult to close the door all the time. Sometimes doors open. That's the reality.' Chelsea knocked Barcelona out at the same stage of the Champions League last year but only after losing the first leg 2-1 and having Didier Drogba sent off. Mourinho said: 'At 11 versus 11, we beat them last season. At 11 versus 11, this game was open. At 11 versus 11, we were winning in Barcelona. At 10 versus 11 it is always difficult. 'It means you can't play a pressing game, you can't double up on the wing in defence, you can't defend deep. It means you are struggling. 'But I prefer to say I'm very proud of my players and the spirit from the fans. I prefer to go to Barcelona in a positive frame of mind.' Chelsea went ahead in the 58th minute thanks to an own goal from Thiago Motta but John Terry scored past his own 'keeper to level. Samuel Eto'o headed the winner, 10 minutes from time, but afterwards Mourinho accused Messi of conning the referee to get Del Horno sent off. Mourinho said: 'Can Messi be suspended for acting? Barcelona is a very cultural city. You know all about theatre. You have theatres of high quality.' The Chelsea boss is still annoyed that midfielder Michael Essien is missing the tie because UEFA issued a suspension for a foul missed by the referee in a group game against Liverpool. Mourinho said: 'Essien was quite correctly suspended for it after the game. 'So what can we do now? Can we take back the red card from Del Horno? Can we revoke his suspension from the Nou Camp? 'We go there without Essien and without Del Horno. Do I send a `B-team' and concentrate on the FA Cup and the league?' Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard insists striker Messi, 18, did not try to con Norwegian referee Terje Hauge. Rijkaard said: 'I see fouls on Messi all the time and he is not a player to overreact. 'I prefer not to go into things said by other people. Every manager has a right to say what he thinks about any situation. I prefer to do my job. 'It was an important result for us in a special game. We showed a lot of maturity. It was not our best performance but the main thing was that we concentrated well against difficult opponents. 'We will take the game in the Nou Camp very seriously. We intend to finish the job there but it will still be difficult. We won't rest on our laurels.' From SOCCERNET. ------------------------ for **** sake stop with the bloody excuses.

Guest Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Opinion seems to be pretty split on the Red Card, blatantly because of the bias against Chelsea, never ever a red card, dreadful decision. Had a great time watching the match, but shame the tie was turned by that decision (Barca were the better team up till then anyway to be fair though). Can't agree with the conspiracy theories about UEFA wanting Chelsea out though - surely if something like that had been going on Barca would have got AT LEAST one penalty - as far as I could see it was just a dreadful, dreadful refeering decision for both teams, although Chelsea got the worst of it (like Barca got the worst of it last year).

According to the Daily Mail, Ballack - who is a free agent in the summer - was offered a contract worth £121,000 a week during talks in London in January. But Ballack, 29, issued a statement saying: "I have not signed anything and I was also not in London." Ballack's agent Michael Becker told BBC Sport: "There was contact with Chelsea in January that was not followed up." Bayern and Chelsea have refused to comment on the story. Ballack is in Florence preparing for Germany's World Cup warm-up match against Italy on Wednesday. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/4758680.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi, the brilliant 18-year-old Argentina international, was criticised for over-reacting after a challenge from Asier Del Horno, which resulted in the Chelsea left-back being sent off in the 2-1 defeat last week. "Messi is a good player but he has opened the road for some Chelsea players to do the same thing in Barcelona," said the Portugal centre-back ahead of Tuesday's second leg. "Messi acted like an artist. He exaggerated everything he could and started to roll around on the field like he had been killed.

Players deceive officials in different ways. The differences are generally cultural. Typically "English-style" players like Shearer play with elbows, constantly backing into players and bending the rules in a physical manner. Players from other climes deceive officials through play-acting and general melodrama. Each are done for the same reasons- to influence the officials and give their team the advantage. The English press whips up a frenzy about "diving", whereas media from other parts of Europe focus negatively on the "physical approach" of the English. Also, players here are physical with players that they know are technically better than them. The foreign player would be protected by the referee when playing in Europe, but not here. So, he dives. It is his response to what he sees as foul play. It is part of the game now, as Carvalho says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
