Chapter 109 Who is he?

"Fiorentina are a good opponent, but the overall strength is obviously stronger than Chelsea. We will show them that at home at Stamford Bridge, Degan? I know my predecessor wanted him very much, but I don't think so. People It is said that he is the world's number one striker, but in my opinion, the world's number one striker is already in our lineup! He is Didier Drogba!"

It was Chelsea's current coach, Israeli Grant, who said these words.

Today's Chelsea left the deepest impression on people, one is the rich gold, and the other is the magic bird, but because of the conflict with the club chairman Abramovich, Mourinho left at the beginning of the season Stamford Bridge, the successor is this Grant.

In his previous life, when Degan learned that Mourinho had left Chelsea, he was also very curious about what kind of master the Russian oligarch would invite to replace the magic bird.

But in the end when Grant announced his appointment, Degan and most of the fans in the world asked together: Who is this guy?

Later, after checking a lot of information, Degan found out about Grant. Speaking of which, Grant's coaching experience is somewhat similar to that of Mourinho, but it is definitely not brilliant. He once coached Israel's Petach Tick Wa Maccabi Club, Tel Aviv Maccabi Club and Haifa Maccabi Club, and then coached the Israeli national team in 2002. After leaving Israel, he worked as a technical director at Portsmouth Club until he joined Chelsea in one step.

Mourinho still had an unsuccessful player career, but Grant had no experience playing on the court at all. In 1974, at the age of 19, Grant coached the Petah youth team to win the Israel Youth League. He was promoted to be the head coach of the adult team, which rewrote the record of Israel's youngest head coach of an adult team.

In the 1990/1991 season, he led the team to win the league runner-up and thus got the opportunity to coach Maccabi Tel Aviv.

In Tel Aviv, Grant led the team to the Israeli league title with a 13-point lead in his first season.

In 2000, he took over the position of head coach of Tel Aviv's "mortal rival" Maccabi Haifa. In two years, he won two league titles and won the 2002 Toto Cup. After he left to head coach the national team, Maccabi Haifa still became the first team to enter the European war in the 2002/2003 season. Israeli teams in the Champions League group stage.

In 2002, at the age of 46, Grant was promoted to the head coach of the Israeli national team. He became the youngest head coach in the country's history and was also the most successful head coach, leading a young and inexperienced Israeli team to the 2006 World Cup. Unbeaten in the qualifiers, only second to France and Switzerland to bid farewell to the World Cup in Germany.

In June 2006, Grant began his career abroad and became Portsmouth's head of football. On the south coast, he played alongside manager Harry Redknapp and experienced a successful season.

Grant arrived at Stamford Bridge in July 2007 and was head of football until September 2007, when he was appointed manager.

In the days when he was the head coach of Chelsea, Grant led the Blues from the bottom of the league to the second position in the league. From taking over the first game with a 0:2 loss to Manchester United to 2:1 at home to Lectra Manchester United, closely chasing Manchester United, until now The hope of competing for the league championship is retained.

However, Degan knew that Grant did not sit in the Chelsea coach seat for too long. In the league, although he failed to catch up in the end and ranked second behind Manchester United, in the Champions League, Grant historically led the Blues into the Champions League. In the final, they only lost in the final penalty shootout.

As a firefighter, Grant undoubtedly fulfilled his mission perfectly, but because of a mythical predecessor: Jose Mourinho, and a harsh boss: Abramovich, it seems so Helpless, failing to win the championship, he still could not escape the misfortune of dismissing get out of class after all.

Grant met Abramovich thanks to the famous and somewhat "notorious" football agent Pini Zahavi. The Israelis and Abramovich owe their acquaintance to Zahavi's introduction. The Russian rich man was impressed by his rich football theoretical literacy when he talked with Grant for the first time, so people saw this Israeli with deep eye circles in Chelsea's coaching area, and he also got a further explanation to the boss. Ideal opportunity.

Later, when Mourinho's authority at Stamford Bridge expanded unscrupulously, threatening Abramovich's right to speak, Grant got the chance to replace him.

Compared with Mourinho, who is full of personality and has a brilliant coaching experience, the exceptionally quiet Grant is obviously a nobody. Whether it is fans or the media, he was not recognized at the beginning.

Even the players resented the Israeli. During his time at Chelsea, Mourinho established great friendships with many players and led the team to win many championship trophies.

When Chelsea unexpectedly announced the dismissal of Mourinho, the appearance of this news shocked all the players, and disappointment + despair + depression spread rapidly in the Chelsea team.

Captain Terry learned the news at midnight, and then he called Drogba and Lampard. During the call, Terry told the two close friends and teammates: "We must not let this happen."

However, the situation did not develop in the direction expected by Terry and others, and Mourinho was still fired by Abramovich.

After seeing Mourinho really leave, many Blues players could not suppress their sadness. Terry said in an interview: "Jose told us that we will miss a good era. Hugs one by one, I still remember Drogba was the one who was affected the most, he was crying like a child."

Drogba also expressed disappointment afterwards: "We have all noticed that Mourinho will leave here. This is too unreal. It seems that it is not true. It is like a movie. Usually we will Seeing him, leaving us unprepared, was a shock."

Portugal international Paulo Ferreira, who was brought to Chelsea by Mourinho from Porto, lamented: "Farewells are always complicated, but we really didn't expect it to be so difficult. He came to the dressing room and everyone gathered. Together, he told us he had to go."

Many people shed sad tears because of Mourinho's departure. Lampard is one of them. The lamp said: "In my mind I always imagine that if everything is normal, usually Mourinho O will be at Chelsea for 10 years, being sacked is really beyond my expectations, his departure is emotionally unacceptable for everyone, this is a friend, but he left us."

The relationship between the players and the magic bird made Grant's start at Chelsea very difficult, and his disapproval seemed to accompany his initial experience at Stamford Bridge.

But only half a year later, people gradually accepted him, because people found that this old Israeli man was not as rigid as he appeared, and he was also very humorous and knew how to make jokes.

Chelsea also gradually came out of the turmoil and began to improve steadily. Grant used his own practical actions to wipe away the marks left by his predecessor on the head coach of Stamford Bridge bit by bit. Although he has not put his own label yet, he is well versed in human affairs and understands the principle of "haste makes waste". At least he has attracted people's attention and whetted everyone's "appetite".

With the improvement of the team's record, Grant also began to have a sense of presence in front of people. Although he does not intend to replace the name of every protagonist of the script with himself like Magic Bird, at least people should notice When he is himself, he will stand up.

Only this time, Mr. Grant seems to have picked the wrong opponent.

Although Degan doesn't care about being the world's number one striker, his pride never allows anyone to ignore his existence.

"Who said that? Grant? Who is that? I'm sorry I don't know him! Chelsea's manager! It's a pity, I don't follow other leagues, I always thought Chelsea's manager was Jose. Where's Mourinho?"

Degan seemed to be talking to himself, and the reporters present almost had stomach cramps from laughing. Of course, it is impossible for Degan not to know that Mourinho left Stamford Bridge at the beginning of the season. Said, the meaning is obvious, and Grant was not taken seriously at all.

"That Mr. Grant, I don't know why he thinks he is qualified to judge me! But since he said it, I would like to fight back appropriately and help you bastards stimulate sales!"

The reporters all pricked up their ears. Although they were called "bastards" by Degan, when they heard that Degan wanted to broadcast the news, they were like drinking iced soda in the dog days. They wished that Degan could scold him more harshly. , it is best to greet all eighteen generations of their ancestors.

Degan cleared his throat, and pretended to be deep and said: "In my life, there are three kinds of people who often appear, those who value me, those who despise me, and those who despise me. Those who value me, I should be grateful They are their attention, help me build confidence, strengthen my belief, and let me go on the right path. When I am proud, a timely compliment can make me a hundred times more enthusiastic. When I am frustrated , A sincere encouragement will make me cheer up, ignite my enthusiasm, and move forward. When I am impetuous, a timely advice will shake my heart strongly, and my impetuous heart will calm down again , I sincerely thank them, those who value me."

The reporters were quiet. Is this still the arrogant Digan?

Hello!

Dude, you are the ultimate boss in the upgrade game, okay, don't pretend to be deep!

This atmosphere doesn't match your character at all, okay?

Digan ignored the startled reporter, and continued: "Those who despise me, I also want to thank them, it is they who let me see everything about myself, and let me know that I still have shortcomings and shortcomings I am not perfect, but they criticize me, ridicule me, and abandon me, whether they are kind or malicious, they beat me like a whip again and again, urging me to work harder and move forward desperately , Although it will be very painful, but every spur speeds up my pace of progress, no matter how they treat me, I will still sincerely thank them, those who despise me, with a normal heart."

The faces of the reporters began to distort, where the hell did they go!

What a mess.

We want to hear you spout people, okay! ,

Please update!

Upstairs!

Digan was already laughing, he found this feeling of teasing others really cool: "Those who despise me, I still thank them, they neither slander me nor praise me, they ignore my existence , but gave me a free space to develop. If I am unwilling to be lonely and want to attract their attention, then I have to achieve superhuman results. I know that I am not a genius, but an ordinary person in the world. If you want to achieve superhuman results, you have to make superhuman efforts. What they give me is invisible pressure, and this pressure will turn into motivation, prompting me to move forward, and I sincerely thank those who despise me."

The reporters were about to cry, and they all wailed in their hearts: Brother Di Gang! Don't scare us, okay! You are a lunatic, not a gentleman, let alone pretend to be a literary man?

Deegan coughed again and summed up the conversation in a way that would leave reporters with mixed feelings: "I'm grateful for all the people around me because everyone pushes me to keep moving forward and moving forward and realizing my dreams. For, Coach Grant! I also want to sincerely thank him, but I have a word that I hope you can bring to him."

The reporters nodded, they didn't want to be stimulated anymore.

Digan's face turned suddenly, he pointed at the camera lenses in the hands of those reporters, and shouted: "What kind of onion are you? You dare to look down on me. Your noble team is just for me. Leather shoes are not qualified, fuck your mother! If you are not convinced, come and compete to see if I can beat you, you son of a bitch! I will let you see how powerful I am, I just hope that when the time comes , your small body and fragile heart can bear it!"

Ga! ?

What kind of situation is this? He was a literary man just now, why did he suddenly swear, what Digan said just now, the reporters looked at each other, but no one heard clearly.

what to do?

Seek to reproduce the original scene.

Deegan glanced at the reporters with contempt: "Let Grant kick your heads! Get the hell out!"
