We will see a different Chelsea from what we saw here tonight the Bruges coach Hugo Broos said They will have to take

"We will see a different Chelsea from what we saw here tonight," the Bruges coach, Hugo Broos, said "They will have to take risks. They played nearly all the game in defence and one goal is a small reward for all the chances we had."That was in no small part down to Kevin Hitchcock, the replacement goalkeeper who recently signed a new three-and-a half-year contract and who pulled off four splendid saves. A soggy pancake of a pitch was no setting for skilful, passing footballers but although they laboured to press home their advantage there was enough threat in Bruges' understanding and imagination to suggest that the Stamford Bridge game could be equally problematic for Chelsea.They will have to come out and make the play and that will provide more freedom for Bruges. In addition, Chelsea's attacking powers have seldom functioned as they might. Hoddle's summer signings, Paul Furlong and David Rocastle, have been a disappointment and Gavin Peacock has not recaptured his zest and goal-scoring prowess of last season.The quarter-final tie is finely balanced. For 82 minutes that is, until the barricades came down and Gert Verheyen pounded in for a header to give the Belgians the advantage.Too often those defenders who did their reputations some good proved not nearly so defiant when asked more familiar questions in domestic football.

For that reason it is not easy to predict with any confidence how their return with Club Bruges in two weeks' time will go. Just as they had in both Czechoslovakia and Austria in the previous rounds, Chelsea defended well in the Olympiastadion on Tuesday night. His Chelsea team are within reach of a place in the semi-finals of the Cup- Winners' Cup, while still searching for their best form, both at home and abroad. BY TREVOR HAYLETT This is a strange, erratic season for Glenn Hoddle to evaluate. Ali himself was at the point of exhaustion, but Futch was unequivocal in judgement. "Joe had taken too much," he said, "and I kept thinking about his children and how much he loves them." Despite Frazier's protests, Futch cut the laces off his gloves.. However there are those who persuade their men to endure unnecessary punishment.

Thus it is a responsibility of the Board to point out the need to protect boxers from themselves.In the excitement of a contest, all trainers and seconds cannot be relied upon to take up the example set by Eddie Futch, who pulled Joe Frazier with only one round of 15 left in a punishing third encounter with Muhammad Ali. "The guy wasn't hurting us," he shouted.The best trainers put the welfare of fighters above all other considerations. Terry Lawless, who had a number of world champions, and Eddie Thomas, who took Howard Winstone and Ken Buchanan to world titles, are good examples. Although it was obvious to everyone present that Jones had been systematically beaten up, losing every session, the decision evoked a disgraceful response in the Californian's trainer, who angrily demanded an explanation from the referee, Larry O'Connell. On Saturday's undercard, Carl Jones was mercifully stopped in the seventh round when challenging for Mike McCallum's WBC light-heavyweight championship.
