Grant's coaching position is the result of everyone's analysis, but in fact, he is the Chelsea coach for the time being. After returning to the locker room, the team still has to follow his arrangements to play.

The first half ended 2:0, and Chelsea had a good situation, so Grant did not adjust the tactics and lineup. He just reminded the players to pay attention to defense in the second half and find opportunities to launch a defensive counterattack. This is the best way to deal with teams like Arsenal.

In fact, Grant has his own ideas.

He knew his situation very well and understood what those words Shepchenko meant - almost certainly, the two of them must leave one. Compared with Shepchenko, it was more practical for him to leave.

But before leaving, he still has to arrange the game, which is the basic professional ethics of being a coach.

However, Grant was also somewhat lucky, that is, the club would choose him. After all, he has a lot of results in leading the team. Although the media said that it was the defensive contribution of Zhang Tiehan and Mourinho, it was also the result of his coaching team. He knew that he had done very little, but he was actually very dissatisfied.

It seems too late to say anything now, but Grant still wants to lead the team to win more victories in the last time, which will also become a bargaining chip for his future coaching journey.

The second half began soon.

As Grant thought, Arsenal launched a siege against Chelsea at the beginning of the second half, which felt a bit like the opening of the first half. However, at this time, Arsenal's offense was more targeted, and the offense seemed a bit reckless. This posture really made Chelsea dare not fight with them for a moment. The team has two goals advantages, so there is no need to fight with Arsenal.

So Chelsea had to choose to defend.

Grant's arrangement played some role, and he made the team's defense more effective. However, Zhang Tiehan did not participate in the defense. He was the team's midfielder, but when the defensive counterattack, his position was always higher than Drogba. He swam around the center line with Derby County, ready to play Arsenal's counterattack at any time.

The two are still very intimidating.

Wenger had a headache for Drogba. For Zhang Tiehan, it was even more headache. In this way, the two players stood at the forefront, and Arsenal's offense was afraid that they would make mistakes to let Chelsea find opportunities. As a result, their offense was greatly affected. Ten minutes into the second half, they failed to score goals even after consecutive offenses.

And their worries came true soon.

This was in the 57th minute of the game, and poor Fabregas was stopped again. Zhang Tiehan retreated to the penalty area and double-teamed him in the middle with Lampard. Faced with these two big Han-level stars, Fabregas had to hand over the ball, and then Chelsea launched a counterattack.

Zhang Tiehan dribbled the ball across the center line, looked forward, and passed the ball directly to the frontcourt.

Drogba, who was in the front, received a pass and surpassed Sendros. He instantly shot and directly sent the ball into the Arsenal goal. Goalkeeper Lehman had no time to react.

The scorer also rewritten the score to 3:0. There is basically no suspense in the game.

After a while, Grant replaced Zhang Tiehan. This basically means that he is more confident in announcing the victory of the game, but Arsenal is still continuing to attack. Although they are three goals behind, there is still a lot of time left, and they still want to struggle.

But in the end they only scored one goal.

That was a good opportunity created by Fabregas's pass from Adebayo in the 83rd minute of the game. The latter crossed the left side of the penalty area and moved to the middle of the penalty area. Midfield Gilberto Silva followed up with a volleyball shot to score a goal to save face for Arsenal.

The game is basically over here.

The final result was also 3:1, with Chelsea defeating Arsenal at home.

After the game, many media reported on the game, but Chelsea won Arsenal not a big news. If Arsenal defeated Chelsea, the media would report it extensively. If Chelsea won, there would be nothing good to report. They would express their sighs and sympathy for Arsenal's experience, and there would be nothing else.

As for what Wenger said before the game, he has been subconsciously forgotten by the media. After all, everyone, including media reporters, actually sympathizes with the weak. Obviously, compared with Chelsea, Arsenal is the weak.

The media's report on Chelsea before the game is still dependent on the conflict between Shepchenko and Grant, and the news that attracts attention is the news of some players within Chelsea.

The biggest news about Chelsea internal players, besides Shepchenko, is that Joe Cole has been injured. This time, the Chelsea club officially announced that Joe Cole will miss the remaining games of this month due to injury.

This season, Joe Cole has been injured.

In the US warm-up match, Joe Cole suffered a knee ligament injury, so he missed many games. His injury was intermittent and he was treated occasionally. He occasionally trained with the team, but he had to go to treat again soon. He continued like this. In the last match against West Ham United, Joe Cole felt pain after the game, and then he went to treat again. He has not participated in the team's training so far. It seems that the injury has become quite serious this time.

Except for Jokol, the media reports are almost all about Shepchenko and Grant.

But soon a new round of reports about Zhang Tiehan was released, because he lost the European Player of the Year.

The selection was initiated by Croatia's main sports newspaper "Sportske-novosti", which invited ten top European football coaches as judges to vote on candidates. The judges include Real Madrid's Capello, Bayern's Magat, AC Milan's Ancelotti, Inter Milan's Mancini and Dutch national team coach Basten.

This is the sixth consecutive year that the newspaper has organized famous coaches to initiate the selection of European footballers. Interestingly, the choices of famous coaches seem to be different from those of the public. The World Footballer selected by FIFA last year was Ronaldinho, the runner-up was Zhang Tiehan, and the third place was Lampard, who was in the limelight at the time. In the selection of European coaches, the first place last year was Lampard, not Ronaldo or Zhang Tiehan.

The results of this year's selection are the same.

Not long ago, Zhang Tiehan just won the European goal award, but he lost the European best player. On the contrary, in the European Golden Ball Awards not long ago, Henry, who lost the European Golden Ball Awards, even failed to enter the top three FIFA World Footballer of the Year. However, in a selection of many top European coaches, he overwhelmed Zhang Tiehan, Ronaldinho and Cannavaro and became the best player in Europe.

In the selection, the 29-year-old Henry scored 37 points, ranking first, with 28 points Ronaldinho and 24 points Cannavaro, and Zhang Tiehan ranked fourth with only 16 points.

Although many media and fans do not comment on this award, Zhang Tiehan still has to ask for an explanation when he loses the election. Many fans regard 2006 as the "Zhang Tiehan Nian". It is conceivable how outstanding Zhang Tiehan's performance is. In the national team, clubs, leagues, and Champions League. Zhang Tiehan's performance can be described as perfect.

"Obviously, these 'world-famous coaches' only regard this award as a comfort for losing other awards, so Henry won the best player." Some media commented mockingly.

Some media also came to Chelsea for an interview and wanted to ask Zhang Tiehan about his opinion on the defeat.

However, they could not find Zhang Tiehan. In fact, Zhang Tiehan was in Abramovich's manor at this time.

There are many media reports about the conflict between Shepchenko and Grant, but even many Chelsea players don't know the specific situation in this regard. After all, it can only be one person to determine the issue of the two - club chairman Abramovich Abramovich supports Grant, so Shepchenko can only leave. On the contrary, it is naturally Grant who leaves.

At this time, Abramovich was sharing dinner with Zhang Tiehan in a manor in London.

This was after the match with Arsenal, Abramovich specially invited Zhang Tiehan, and he also brought Lola with him. Lola and Abramovich's wife Ilena were talking about women, while Abramovich talked with Zhang Tiehan.

This is the first time the two of them have dinner together in private.

Abramovich asked Zhang Tiehan’s recent life questions, talked about his marriage with Lola, and talked about the gift. "Zhang, I will prepare you a wedding gift, I hope you like it."

"What gift?" Zhang Tiehan asked with interest.

"Keep confidential."

Abramovich joked with a gesture of silence with his fingers, and he quickly changed the subject to the team, "Zhang, what do you think of Grant?"

"Grant? Is that OK..."

Zhang Tiehan said hesitantly, he knew what Abramovich meant, that was asking him about Grant. It is very likely that his statement would affect Abramovich's decision, so Zhang Tiehan decided to remain neutral.

"I think it's okay, but Andre is okay..." he said.

Abramovich just looked at Zhang Tiehan, and Zhang Tiehan shook his head, "Grant is the coach, and I have a good relationship with Andre, and I don't want to participate."

"But you know that this will affect the team. I don't believe in that Israel, but the team's performance is pretty good so far..."

Zhang Tiehan still shook his head, but instead looked directly at Abramovich, "You have made a decision, haven't you? You just want to make sure, but I don't want to provide any advice."

Abramovich was stunned when he heard this and then burst into laughter.

He pointed at Zhang Tiehan and said, "The others told me, Zhang, you..." He hesitated for a while and didn't say it, but instead said, "I think you are very smart. You can actually know what I think."

Zhang Tiehan smiled bitterly.

He naturally knew what Abramovich was talking about. His face and expression were too deceptive. Many people knew him and thought he was an honest person. An honest person was a good description, but on the other hand, he was absolutely inseparable from intelligence.

But the important thing is that he really doesn't want to interfere in this matter and doesn't want to express any opinions.

He is just a player, and no matter how famous he is, he is still a player. He knows this very well, so even if he has the ability, he will not do things that he should not do.

Whether it was Grant or Shepchenko, he didn't want to let one of them leave because of his words, even if this was a conclusion, it was still the case.

But Abramovich's topics always involve the team's coaching position, such as who asked to take over the team, etc. Zhang Tiehan just listened carefully, and he couldn't say anything about this.
