BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Playing Ryan as the left winger won't be a bad tactic.To know that we are going to start a 22 year old who we bought for 125.000 pounds shows that this club is making significant youth implementation and the credit goes all to RDM!

captainjt26 106 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Good shift by Bertrand hopefully DiMatteo stays and we get to see more of the players that break through the chelsea academy get some game time but the future looks bright for Bertrand.

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Unbelievable, just playing in that final will have made his chelsea career - he will take massive confidence now to taking over from cole as first choice over the next couple of seasons. Cole as he gets older needs to be rested more, he has played near constantly for the last 5 years but i'm fully confident in bertrand to make the left back spot his own.

Henrique 9,133 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well, I was afraid, but the guy played a decent match. I think no one could ask much more than that from a player making his debut in european football just in a UCL final. francozola, Kieran., laura90 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantdeville 195 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Talk about confidence-booster for this kid. Today he played in his first European match. Today he marked one of the best wide players of this generation. Today he won the club's first European Cup. And to top It off, he did it in style.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 He and Ash had such a lovely dynamism, when one attacked the other sank back into the LB role. This is a partnership that could blossom in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to relax and go to sleep in the afternoon but had all these images flashing through my mind.'I can't believe it, it hasn't sunk in. looking at the experienced players, I am so happy for them, I didn't want to go out and let anyone down, especially the manager, and these guys have got what they've always been fighting for.'Since I came in Ashley has welcomed me with open arms. He's the best left-back in the world.' Milan, nofreakingway, francozola and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
