Koeman unhappy with Chelsea tactics

Ronald Koeman has hit out at Chelsea for their negative football against Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

The Feyenoord boss was disappointed Chelsea did not try to make more of the game, and hopes Barca will turn the 1-0 loss from the Stamford Bridge clash around in Tuesday’s second leg at Camp Nou.

“I watched Chelsea defend for 90 minutes and I was appalled they did not try to make something more of the game. I have no admiration for Chelsea’s approach,” Koeman told the Daily Mirror.

“And let’s face it, this tie could have been all over by now. ¬Barcelona could easily have won in London. Let’s hope football will be the winner this week and the team with the best approach goes to the final.

“It is the moment when a team like Chelsea have the chance to create something and they won’t, which annoys me. As a team, you can’t sit back and wait for Barcelona all the time.”
