chelsea...semi finalist!

i understand why the blues will went through into semi final..after i checked the match stats..the shots on goal between chelsea and valencia is 21 shots 6 on target and another is 9 shots 2 on target..although chelsea shot almost doubled as valencia but on the result also proved that chelsea didnt stand a lot chance against valencia..but possession also proved that chelsea controlled the pitch with 64% against 36%..now i understand that why valencia have less shots..i believe that the lost of service from Ruben Baraja,Rodrigues Vicente and also Carlos Marchena along with a shot on the the post.. but a first change by Mourinho during the interval when Joe Cole replaced Lassana Diarra with Essien switching to right-back and Chelsea to a 4-3-3 formation resulting that Joe Cole looked lively as chelsea attempted to make progress down the right flank of valencia...The Spanish side had Canizares to thank for keeping them in the game in the 84th minute when he produced a sensational one-handed save to keep out a header from Ballack's supreme header..but however the enormity of their task in the Mestalla Stadium had been underlined by the inclusion of midfielder Essien when the ghanian international put Chelsea into the semi-finals with a glorious angled drive in the 91st minute..this priceless goal put chelsea in aggregate of 3-2 and according to the rules of away goals..valencia have to score twice to overcome their position back in trial..but the time doesnt allow them to do so..in the end chelsea romped into semi final and followed man utd's footstep as the 2nd british's football club to joined into semi final..at here i wonder with the advantages of 3 goals between Liverpool and PSV Eindhoven..i believe that Liverpool should be safely go into semi final and we will have 3 bristish's football clubs in the last four..and we shall see the versus between Chelsea and Liverpool..this will be another england's derby for them..while Man Utd will have to wait the result between Ac Milan and Bayern Munich which ended a 2-2 draw in the first leg and waiting to the coming second leg...no matter Milan or Munich that will go through..we will see a match between M&M..kinda lame ya..??sorry..that's all..stop at here!

P/S:I am looking forward to see England's derby between Chelsea and Liverpool..no matter who wins...i also wish that an England club will win the Uefa's champion..!
