Bayern Munich star Jerome Boateng has aimed a swipe at Chelsea � challenging them not to repeat their defensive tactics in the Champions League Final. The two sides meet in the Champions League final in two weeks� time but the defender of Ghanaian descent suspects the Blues will adopt the ultra-defensive style. Former Manchester City defender Boateng, 23, accused the Blues of �barricading themselves� in their own penalty area as they saw off �Barcelona in the semis. Boateng, who left City in a �12m deal last �summer, said: �There is no special recipe for beating Chelsea. �But I don�t believe they will play the �Champions League final the same way as they did against Barcelona. �They won�t use all 11 men to �barricade �themselves in their own �penalty area. I�ll leave it up to our scouts to draw up a plan. �I used to say the �Premier League was stronger than the �Bundesliga, but that is no longer the case. The Premier has more money but in sporting terms, both leagues are on the same level. But I miss the fact that English football is tougher and, unlike in Germany, the refs don�t stop play for every crappy little thing. �I�ve got some crazy memories of the time I played for City. Wayne Rooney was one of my neighbours. �When there was talk that he might leave �Manchester United, the media flew helicopters over his house and tried to film him. This was in Prestbury, a picturesque little village. �It was a scenic and cosy place, half-an-hour from Manchester. You never get a fuss there.�
