When Zouma entered the pitch i agree with you that Mou was parking the bus. But i'm really not sure it was Mourinho's tactics to defend the whole game as during the first 20 minutes Chelsea was actually pressing pretty high and was doing well in blocking PSG without putting themself in danger. I think Mou didn't chose to park the bus before the goal of Eden and that the coward attitude of Chelsea's player came from the events of the game.

As french i am supporting french teams in CL and i have to say this game had crazy events. I was with other fellows actually thinking the result of the first leg was better for PSG than people were expecting. If we try to analys the story with cold mind i have to say tactical moves didn't change anything in the results. I explain myself: 1/ It was obvious PSG was struggling to have opportunities to score even before Zlatan got dismissed (unfairly?). Chelsea was pressuring well and both teams were blocked. The red card changed everything. PSG already went through such a situation in the classic against Marseille and won at 10, showing incredible fighting spirit. It was really obvious after the red card Chelsea would park the bus again and wait for the minutes to fly. That was the first event that changed the game. I'm not so sure with a useless Zlatan, PSG would have been able to score. 2/The first goal of Chelsea wasn't changing so much the PSG state of mind, they needed to score anyway. In the opposite Chelsea was defending even more down, giving opportunities for PSG to come back. DL punished you for playing that move as you should have try to score a second goal to secure the result., or at least to keep the ball. 3/The second goal of Chelsea was even worst, cause before that PSG thought waiting to go through the lotery of shoot-out would be their best chance to win. They were put in the situation where they had to score again but this time a goal would qualify them. All this to say that despite the tactics, despite the level of players, this game was only about mental aptitude and being in the position of the team who needs to score, with only 10 players, in a second leg away against the same team that the players lost against last year. For sure Chelsea didn't show much in both games but the events of the game made the whole difference between both teams, which i think are pretty much at the same level. I wish you good luck in BPL
