The highline is also a good point because Chelsea never used to defend that high up the pitch against anyone let alone a side like Barca and Inter had plenty of pace and just general great defenders (Lucio, Samuel, Chivu) to compensate for playing a higher line. Carvalho and Pepe don't accelerate anywhere quick enough for them to play that far up the pitch Iniesta, Xavi and Messi put goes behind them so many times because of it today. [/QUOTE]
