Chapter 464 It's not time to go out!(2/2)
There are more than one fan who has such confidence in Wan Sheng. In the past three seasons, Wan Sheng has never disappointed Manchester City fans, so they have full confidence in Manchester City's good results in the Champions League.
However, when the moment when the team eliminated Barcelona, Manchester City fans were still very excited.
The Champions League final!
This is the most glorious moment in Manchester City's century-long history!
Whenever everyone thinks of them witnessing the most glorious moment in the team in a century, they feel extremely excited and celebrate the finals with all their heart.
On the field, Manchester City players are also celebrating.
Eliminating Barcelona in this final only got a ticket to Moscow, but it is already exciting to be able to enter the Champions League final. How many teams want to enter the final but cannot?
It was like the lost Barcelona, they worked hard for a season and finally fell.
Manchester City succeeded.
Manchester City are the winners, or rather, they are the winners, so each of them is very excited.
The players, coaches and club staff on the bench have all rushed into the stadium, and everyone gathered together to hug each other and kept cheering.
Wansheng stood in the crowd, and he smiled happily.
After passing Barcelona's level, the team is one step closer to the goal.
There are only two finals left this season.
Both finals were civil wars in England, and he had full confidence in this, and the championships seemed to be in front of him.
At the post-match press conference, Wan Sheng did not say anything to Barcelona.
Manchester City has won, and victory is the best proof. If he wants to maintain his demeanor, there is no need to ridicule the losers anymore.
The British media feel sorry for this.
In European football, Spain is also a strong competitor of England. Now there is a chance to attack the opponent, but the "leader" characters don't say anything. No matter what they say, it seems that they become boring.
So the British media's perspective also turned to the domestic market.
The next day, in the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United and Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge Stadium, with Chelsea playing against Manchester United at home.
This game is seen as Grant's 'battle of proof'.
Since becoming Chelsea coach, Grant has been questioned, but Chelsea's performance is not bad. The Israeli led the team to the league and reached the semi-finals in the Champions League, tying Mourinho's best results. However, the media and fans do not recognize his ability to lead the team. Many people think that Grant achieved good results by luck.
Former head coach Mourinho is one of them.
Mourinho has been resting for a year, and the biggest news in recent times is nothing more than his signing with Inter Milan. Inter Milan has confirmed that Mourinho will take the coaching point next season.
At this time, the British media came.
Seeing that Grant is expected to become the first coach to lead Chelsea to the Champions League final, everyone is wondering what his ex has.
"I won't be jealous." Mourinho, who is on vacation in Algaff, replied.
Just a week ago, Chelsea had just defeated Manchester United in the league, and in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, he took the draw at Old Trafford Stadium. Grant's coaching results were still very good, but Mourinho attributed the credit to himself.
Mourinho believes that even if Chelsea beat Manchester United to enter the final, it is actually nothing great, which does not mean that Grant does better than himself.
"I won't be jealous of him, because he uses my stuff."
Some media reporters mentioned that in this season's Champions League, Grant can be regarded as Chelsea's benefactor.
When the Israelis took charge of the coaching staff, the Blues were in danger in the group stage and were tied by Norway's Rosenberg at home. In the following rounds, Grant led the team to reverse the game, not only retaining the right to qualify, but also defeating Olympiacos and Liverpool in the knockout round until Manchester United was forced into a dilemma.
But Mourinho doesn't think so.
Regarding Chelsea's Champions League journey this season, his conclusion is that he is lucky, better than when he led the team. "We encountered Barcelona for three consecutive seasons. Last season, we played the group stage with Barcelona, and met Porto and another European champion in the knockout round. Then, he eliminated Valencia and finally met Liverpool. Now, Chelsea is getting more and more smooth. Is there no luck here?"
Mourinho did not forget to remind his successor, "This is nothing more than a result of standing on his shoulders."
Grant certainly didn't want to hear these words.
Even though Chelsea is using Mourinho's "stay" tactic, most of his players are interested in the Portuguese, he still hopes to prove that his coaching is successful.
So he must lead the team to eliminate Manchester City.
Leading Chelsea to the finals of the Champions League is the best proof of his success in leading the team.
Grant thought so and said this to the media. When he heard his words, even the media was so harsh, he could not help but look up to the Israelites.
After all, Chelsea's opponent is Manchester United!
Even if I took a little "cheap" at Old Trafford in the first leg, it would not be easy to eliminate Manchester United.
However, what most people, including Wan Sheng, did not expect was that after a turbulent overtime game, Chelsea finally defeated Manchester United 3-2 and eliminated the Red Devils 4-3 with a total score, and advanced to the Champions League final for the first time in history.
Chelsea, who entered the semi-finals three times in four years, finally successfully advanced for the third time after being eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals twice in a row.
Chelsea played very well in this game.
After the opening, the whole Chelsea team showed a very high fighting spirit and good competitive state, and frequently created murderous intent in front of Manchester United's goal.
After unremitting efforts, Chelsea finally got a reward in the 35th minute. Karau's shot was saved by Van der Sar, and Drogba shot from 12 meters on the right side of the penalty area and entered the net at the near corner.
1 to 0!
Chelsea takes the lead!
After the second half began, Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack.
In the 59th minute, Rooney shot low from the bottom right corner from the penalty area, helping Manchester United tie the score.
Since the score between the two teams in the first round was also 1:1, after the 90 minutes, both sides had to enter overtime.
The real excitement of the game appears in overtime.
In the 97th minute, Essin scored a strong shot but was judged invalid. In less than two minutes later, Barack was knocked down in the penalty area, Chelsea received a penalty kick, and Lampard scored a penalty kick in one go.
Chelsea's momentum expanded its lead in the 104th minute. Drogba pushed the ball into the net at the closest corner from the small penalty area line, and the score became 3-1.
Although in the 118th minute, Cech lost his long shot from saving C-Ronaldo, allowing Manchester United to score a point, the Red Devils, whose morale was completely overwhelmed, ultimately failed to perform a reversal miracle.
The moment the whistle blew at the end of the game, Chelsea coach Grant was excited and couldn't stand up on the sidelines. Behind the Israelis was a boiling blue ocean.
This game was talked about by media fans for a long time, and the live TV commentator finally announced excitedly, "Chelsea defeated Manchester United and was close to the Champions League final. They will compete with Manchester City at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow!"
Wan Sheng was stunned for a long time when he heard the news.
In my memory, the Champions League final this season was a showdown between Chelsea and Manchester United. Due to his arrival, Manchester City made a move. Chelsea met Liverpool in advance. After defeating Liverpool, they met Manchester United in advance.
But Wan Sheng thought that when Chelsea and Manchester United are put together, whether in history, strength or condition, it should be Manchester United who wins the final victory.
After eliminating Barcelona, Wan Sheng has begun to look forward to stealing Manchester United's Champions League trophy in Moscow.
But now?
Chelsea has reached the final!
Too unexpected!
While feeling surprised, Wan Sheng felt a little regretful. What he was looking forward to was meeting Manchester United and wanted to steal another Manchester United championship before leaving Manchester City.
Unexpectedly, Manchester United was eliminated early?
They even lost their chances to enter the finals, so they did not snatch them or not.
Wan Sheng suddenly realized that his small butterfly seemed to have grown up and his wings were becoming more violent. Under his influence, not only Manchester City became very strong, but other teams were also greatly affected, and the results of some important games have changed.
He could only smile bitterly.
From now on, many memories of previous lives have lost their effect. He has changed too many things, but this change is also good, at least developing in the direction he expects.
"Will this always be like this?"
Wan Sheng thought.
As the most ordinary Chinese fan in my previous life, and as an internationally renowned head coach in this life, what Wan Sheng hopes most is that Chinese football will develop.
Chinese football has always been criticized by the majority of fans, and it has indeed disappointed fans again and again.
Now he is here.
He has the ability to change, and how much he can change depends on how he does.
Wansheng is not a saint.
He just hopes to make some changes within his ability, such as cultivating some outstanding players, so that China can have more players who can make it stand out, and that the majority of Chinese fans have some hope, but for him personally, it is difficult to accept some unreasonable demands.
Just like this document in hand...
The Chinese Football Association once again sent an invitation, hoping that he could take over the coaching staff of the Chinese national team at the end of the season.
Wan Sheng couldn't understand why the Chinese Football Association did this. He had refused twice in a row, clearly expressing his attitude of not wanting to coach the Chinese national team, but the Chinese Football Association still sent out the third invitation.
Is this... Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times?
The problem is not Zhuge Liang. Now he is unable to support the Chinese team with nothing to play in the sky. Is the Chinese Football Association Liu Bei? Can they completely delegate power to themselves?
There are constraints from the top and there are no outstanding players below, and they are not even qualified to participate in the World Cup events.
