Chennaiyin FC vs Kerala Blasters
The first leg of the Hero Indian Super League semi-finals between Chennaiyin FC Vs. Kerala Blasters in which Kerala Blasters took a clean 3-0 lead against Chennaiyin FC. Today, the second leg to held in Chennaiyin FC Home town. Speculations are that Chennaiyin FC will never lose before its Home crowd. Hope, it will be forever. As for as the first leg of the Hero Indian Super Legue semi-finals between these two team, Kerala Blaster stood tall. It coverted every mistake into an unforgiving goals against the Strong Chennaiyin FC. Too much space in defence, weak marking of players has cost Chennaiyin FC in First leg of the Semi-finals. Special thanks for Sushanth Mathew of Kerala Blasters for the spectacular third goal of the match. No goal keeper will find it easy to stop such a curler. But this is not the end. It's football! Unexpected things happen. Chennaiyin FC still has some fair chance to rebound in the second leg while Kerala Blaster could still contain its rivals with some pressure on their attack. Either way is possible.
Chennaiyin FC has got legends in their ranks when it comes to defense. But the problem which was evident in the first-leg of the semi-finals in the Hero Indian Super league was lack of co-ordination in defense. Man-marking and covering seems too weak. Each of the defenders, Nesta, Suarez, Mendy, Silverstre stood tall individually. This wouldn't be enough. A well-planned defense line should stop the Sachin's men from scoring goals further. Come on people, with Marco Materazzi as head coach this is a walk in the park for Chennaiyin FC(CFC). But this didn't work out for no reason! Best thing for the CFC is forget the past and move on with good plan in the second-leg. Despite the few mistakes, Mendy stood tall at times with his early crosses, trying to create good oppourtunites.
With the attack, indigenous products Jeje and Balwant Singh did well in the league table matches. But against Kerala Blasters in the first-leg, they found their foot weak. Jeje could have scored but for his shot power and Balwant Singh could have added some attack to keep pressure on the Blasters. Mendoza out of the equations this duo combo must create opportunities for the team. The strength as well as the weakness of the CFC attack is dependence on a single play-maker either Elano or Pelissari. Marking these play makers reduces the scoring chances of CFC. But Mendy has explored other possibilities in the first-leg match with his early-crosses. Hope, other players follow suit with unpredictable passeses to break open the opposition defense. Further, the attack needs variations with dummy runner, overlap to break ice in the opposition defense.
With unrelenting head-coach Materazzi, CFC might rebound in the second-leg semi-final match of the Hero Indian Super League. Let's Football!
