FIRST LEG MATCHES .

 two semifinals were played this week but to be honest i am frustrated about the way game is played . let me just put my point there is book called similarities between chess and football . yes definitely there are similarities but football i think has many a way to catch . in chess we analyze the game from start to finish but most importantly in chess we analyze every position and try every iteration in every direction . to be honest i am not very pleased with the way coaching is done . you know of the strength and weakness of your and the opposition . you have to devise a plan and improvise it but most importantly you have to look at the smallest of the details because in the first game  between  bayern and madrid i dont think that none of the coaches took it under consideration . the reason why i say that football needs to have proper analysis is becasue when these guys dribble then you need to have proper analysis of the play . there are players who have started to be over smart air has gone in their head and coaches need to bring them on the ground and tell as to where they need to use there ability and where not . players like 

first off  bayern vs madrid . madrid started the game with 4-2-3-1 formation while bayern too started with the same formation .before the game started  i was apprehensive of kim's pace and i thought that he could be the weak link in the bayern's defense and i was not wrong . bayern won the initial exchanges and put madrid on the back foot and i think ancelotti was just guaging his opponent and was happy sit back and defend . after the first 15 min madrid took control of the game and scored first . the way madrid scored should had be an awakening to touchel because madrid carved them open through the middle and i think for that particular goal touchel held groetzka responsible because he was the left sided midfielder and it should had been his job to close down kroos but to be honest the way madrid were operating and changing positions . valverde was coming inside and kross was going made closing more difficult but then the way kim cam out was disastarous . while coming out he should had realized the space he was leaving behind and others not closing down that space leaving him exposed .  while madrid closed bayern were just too poor .their whole offense was based on solo dribble by sane and musiala . there was lack of cohesion in the bayern team in the first half . they were kept at bay by madrid and were made to shoot in and around the box . this is where coaching seen because he can tell the players to slow down the game or can change the movement of the players but touchel was just hopeless and if any man utd are thinking of appointing him then there is nobody stupid than them . 

bayern changed groetzka in the second half and bought guerrero in the second half . bayern immediately came in the game not because they made the substitution but because their fullbacks the most common mistakes . for the first goal the ball was switched from left to right . the ball ended at sane's feet . now the madrid's fullback should had known that he just needed to show him on his weaker foot and let him get down the line instead of letting him  cut inside . the second goal was nothing but the same mistake was done again . instead of letting him tumble with his own dribble he stuck his own foot which cost the goal . bayern were gifted two goals madrid because of their simple mistakes . 

to be honest i am not very impressed by ancelotti . he should had got much better cohesion in the madrid ranks . most importantly he needs to get player like vinicius on the feet because he seems to be floating in air . air has gone in his head . he is decent but his ability to read the game and most importantly his choice of shots is questionable . the other thing is that the offense is just constituted of three players namely vinicius , bellingham and rodrygo but i think he need to bring valverde in the offense . 

i cannot write anything about psg vs dortmund because for me luis enrique is a stupid coach . he won the league because he had the best player at his disposal . there is no cohesion in his team . to be honest i would be surprized if he is kept in the psg job but then he may win the ucl cause stranger things have happened in football .
