Grant, a little-known figure before taking over Chelsea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, even in the football circle, his name is very small, and his best resume before was as the head of the football department at Portsmouth, joined Chelsea in 07, and then succeeded Carlo Ancelotti and became Chelsea's firefighting manager, but it can be seen that he does not know Ancelotti's system thoroughly.

Abu once commented on Grant, "I believe that Grant's experience can help the team in difficult times and achieve the desired goals, I will give him 100 per cent support, he will get everything he wants in the club." ”

Although Chelsea did not announce the number of years of appointment, pervasive reporters still dug out that Grant's term of acting Chelsea manager is until the end of this season, and if he has a good result, it is believed that he can be regularized, but according to the current situation, it may be very small.

Chelsea were title contenders when they took over Carlo Ancelotti, and despite falling behind Manchester United and the Red Rebels, Chelsea were still strong, but Grant took his place after Carlo Ancelotti's sacking and the team's results plummeted.

People are still the same as before, in terms of tactics, Grant with the assistance of assistant coach Clark, under the operation of the coaching team, still maintains the tactical system of the Ancelotti period, and the overall has not changed much, but the players are obviously not used to Grant standing on the sidelines, although the Israelis look thinner than Ancelotti, and his belly is not as big as Ancelotti's.

Originally, when Abou asked him, Grant did not want to miss the opportunity to coach the giant Chelsea team, and he did not hesitate to promise that at least the Champions League would be reached, and Abu's idea was to win the championship and stay, but now it seems that Chelsea are getting farther and farther away from this goal, and even whether they can qualify for the League Cup is in question.

It was only when he actually stood in front of the home team's dugout at Stamford Bridge that Grant experienced the enormous pressure that Carlo Ancelotti had been under before.

'I'm especially grateful to Carlo Ancelotti for bringing to Chelsea a desire for good football and a desire to win, and now I'm going to carry that forward!'

When he first took office, he seemed to be still speaking, but Grant no longer had the ambition he had at the beginning.

He looks like he's dozens of years old now, especially when he listens to the wave-like boos and the white handkerchiefs flying in the sky, which are not offered to him by the visiting fans, after all, Chelsea are not stupid enough to arrange for the visiting team to sit behind the manager's back.

It was the fans at Stamford Bridge who threw him, which is a testament to their displeasure with Grant!

Looking up, it is not difficult to see that many Chelsea fans throughout the Stamford Bridge stadium have pulled out banners saying "Grant get out, please return Carlo Ancelotti", which proves their current mood and the score on the pitch.

Everyone knows that the game against the Red Rebels is very important, and everyone knows that one of the important reasons why Ancelotti was out of class was that Abu was dissatisfied with him, because he failed to defeat the Red Rebels, so that Abu always couldn't hold his head up in front of Xiao Yu.

So for the home game against the Red Rebels, Grant can be said to have put a lot of thought into it, he knows very well that he desperately needs a win to save his prestige, and he desperately needs to win the Red Rebels to defend his position as acting head coach.

But the Red Rebels are not Lei Feng, and Mourinho is not a good man and a woman, and he will definitely not fulfill him just because Grant wants to!

Although Mourinho had expressed sympathy for Grant's plight before the game, football did not believe in tears.

After just 30 minutes of battle, the Red Rebels opened the scoring through Cesc Fabregas with a stab from inside the box that completely crumbled Chelsea's backline under the Red Rebels' needle-threading link.

Chelsea then clearly strengthened their midfield defence, but to no avail.

11 minutes later, the Red Rebels offensive again, Messi on the right side of the ball once passed, interspersed in the middle and Drogba after a two-one-one, into the penalty area, pushed the far post to score, 0:2!

In the second half, Grant tried to turn the tide, but the Red Rebels did not give him any chance to fight back.

In the 57th minute, De Rossi's long-range shot from the edge of the box found the back of the net again, which also brought the anger of the Chelsea fans to the highest point, and they even cheered and applauded De Rossi's goal.

This is a huge irony for Chelsea!

But the game wasn't over yet.

Only 7 minutes later, Messi entered the penalty area again, avoided Alex in a small space, picked up the back point, Xiao Luo rushed to the point, pushed the goal and scored, 0:4!

Two minutes later, Cesc Fabregas scored his first goal in recent months with a beautiful through ball in the face of Carvalho, which Drogba cut in from behind and volleyed hard, making it 0:5!

In the 73rd minute, Chelsea were awarded a set-piece in front of the goal, and Frank Lampard took the opportunity for Chelsea to score a face-saving goal, but the score of 1-5 made it clear to anyone that it was a complete defeat.

Less than a minute after Chelsea's goal, the Red Rebels scored again, it was still Cesc Fabregas's pass in the middle, Aguero avoided Alex and scored with a clever shot, 1:6!

Grant is defeated, completely defeated!

He didn't dare to gamble and could only desperately push the players back because he feared that with the current situation of the Chelsea players on the pitch and the almost frantic state of the Red Rebels, Chelsea might lose everything.

Although the score of 1:6 is already very cruel, and it can even be said that it is enough to completely ruin Grant's Chelsea career, he still does not dare to bet, he still chooses to defend, desperately defending.

After that, Mourinho obviously began to relax his attack, perhaps even the Portuguese himself felt that there were enough goals, and he was a little embarrassed to score too much, so he replaced a group of young players on the pitch.

The last 20 minutes were completely turned into training time, but Grant was on pins and needles.

In the 27th round of the league, the Red Rebels bloodied Middlesbrough 0:5 away!

2:4 away win over Werder Bremen in the knockout round of the Champions Cup!

In the 28th round of the league, the Red Rebels swept Sunderland 3:0 at home!

In the fifth round of the FA Cup, 1:4 away to Cardiff!

In the last four games, the Red Rebels have scored 16 goals in a frenzy, an average of 4 goals per game, what a terrible attacking force?

Originally, after the national team training period, the giant teams will always have ups and downs, but after two weeks of national team matches, the Red Rebels have become even better and almost invincible, which is simply terrible!

Grant also knew this very well, so he followed Clarke's advice and followed the original Ancelotti tactics, but strengthened the pressing of the whole court, but in the end it ended in a miserable defeat.

At 6-1, Chelsea managed to push the Red Rebels' almost terrifying attack to 21 goals in five games, and also pushed the Red Rebels to the top of the league table, because earlier in the game at the Butcher's Knife Stadium, Manchester United lost 1-0 away to Droysden, and the Red Devils veteran Forlan scored the only goal of the game.

In doing so, the Red Rebels successfully reversed Manchester United with a victory against Chelsea to reach the top of the Premier League again, one point ahead of Manchester United, followed by Droysden who had just beaten Manchester United, and then Arsenal, who have performed well in recent league games.

…………………… Grant looked at the players on the court dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out why the people were still the same people, and the tactics were still the same as before, but the difference in performance was so big?

Could it be that his own ability is not as good as Ancelotti's?

Grant certainly didn't believe that no one would doubt his strength if he was in his position, and if he was that kind of person, he wouldn't have accepted Abu's offer to replace Carlo Ancelotti in the first place.

So what is the reason for this?

Grant doesn't understand, Kenyon doesn't understand, and Abu in the VIP box doesn't understand either!

In terms of player strength, player fame and influence, Chelsea will not lose to the Red Rebels, but why, Chelsea has never been able to take advantage of the Red Rebels?

Looking at Grant in front of the head coach's box, Abu couldn't express his resentment, because he not only lost a game, but also a fiasco that he couldn't bear the most, especially in front of Xiao Yu.

In the course of these 80 minutes of play, Abu was like Grant, like a pins and needles, and the Red Rebels' goals were like a hammer hitting him in the chest, making him almost vomit blood.

He just wants to defeat the Red Rebels, is it difficult?

Sitting next to Abu, Xiao Yu wanted to tell the Russians that the strength of a team is actually not just the superposition of stars, but more should be the superposition of stars, multiplied by a variable n, and then equal to the combat effectiveness of a team.

And this n is actually very crucial, because he determines how much combat power a team can play, which can be several times stronger than the superimposed strength of the stars, or it can make the strength of the superimposed stars several times weaker, so it can be said with certainty that n is the most important soul core of a team.

This variable n is the head coach of a team.

If you don't believe it, look at De Roysden in recent seasons, Pellegrini's adjustment has made this team, which has no big names in itself, successfully ranked at the top of the Premier League, and this game overturned the top team Manchester United.

If you look at the strength of the team, Droisden is definitely not as good as Chelsea in all of them, but if the game is played in the current state of both sides, Chelsea will definitely lose, why?

Because Pellegrini can allow Derogersden players on the pitch to play their combined strength several times, and then surpass Chelsea in the overall combat effectiveness of the team, and then defeat the opponent.

So De Roysden is currently third, while Chelsea are in jeopardy for sixth place in the league.

Not only that, Manuel Pellegrini's side just beat La Liga powerhouse Sevilla 2-0 at home in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round, and the possibility of reaching the last eight is very high, while Chelsea lost 2-1 away to Celtic in the first leg, which is obviously seriously inconsistent with Chelsea's luxurious squad.

Xiao Yu can be very sure that Abu has already moved his mind to fire Squid to Grant at this time, but he can't persuade anything, after all, even if he is blind, he can see Abu's true thoughts in his heart.

Sometimes Xiao Yu's heartfelt remarks will be understood by Abu as a fall on him, so for Xiao Yu now, why bother to get involved?

…………………… After playing Chelsea away, the Red Rebels returned to Manchester and hosted Werder Bremen.

Jose Mourinho sat at home this time and once again put attacking football on the table, and Schaf did not show weakness, even on the road, he still decided to press hard, and the two sides gave a feast of attacking football at the Red Rebels stadium.

The Red Rebels relied on a hat-trick from Ronaldo to win 5-1 at home to Werder Bremen.

The two-legged aggregate score was as high as 9:3, which undoubtedly made these two legs the two most beautiful games of this Champions Cup, especially the Red Rebels and Werder Bremen, both sides did not have the slightest conservative, playing attacking football, Werder Bremen finally ended up hating, but the offensive football they insisted on brought them more attention from fans.

After all, in this era of conservative and utilitarian football, there are really very few teams that dare to insist on playing against the Red Rebels in the face of the strong Red Rebels, and Werder Bremen is one of them.

Barcelona's Pep Guardiola said that if Barcelona drew the Red Rebels, they would stick to the attacking tactics, but that would have to wait until he drew the Red Rebels, so Schaff once again became the opponent that Mourinho praised after the game, because he allowed Mourinho's team to enter the last 8 without any danger.

Droisden eliminated La Liga powerhouse Sevilla with a two-legged score of 3:1, and Real Madrid eliminated Roma in Serie A with a total score of 5:2 over two legs; AC Milan eliminated Porto 6-1 on aggregate, and Palacio once again put in a good performance.

In the remaining four games on the second day, Barcelona eliminated Fenerbahce, Manchester United eliminated Lyon, Valencia won a surprise victory over Inter Milan to reach the last eight, and Celtic lost to Chelsea.

Grant defeated Celtic 1-0 at home and successfully sent Chelsea to the top 8 of the Champions Cup, which also made Abu who originally decided to let him leave his class for the time being, and let Grant stay, after all, if he can't get good results in the league, if he can get the Champions Cup that Abu dreams of, it will be good.

However, the outside media has begun to frequently break the news that Abu has been in close contact with Grant's replacement next season, including the champion coach who left Barcelona Black Swan Rijkaard, as well as Hiddink and Scolari, but the coaching philosophy of these two world-class managers is somewhat incompatible with Ancelotti.

Of course, it is not excluded that Abu was sick and rushed to the doctor.

And after the end of the two-legged knockout round of 16 of the Champions Cup, the draw ceremony for the high-profile top 8 knockout round was ushered in!
