Ronald Koeman has hit out at Chelsea for their negative football against Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie at Stamford Bridge last Wednesday.
The Feyenoord boss feels that the Premier League side never "tried to make something out of the game", and hopes that Barca will turn the 1-0 loss from the away game around in the second leg.
"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 stated to 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."
The second leg at Camp Nou on Tuesday kicks off at 20.45CET.
