But Granger didn’t listen to him. After the game resumed, Chelsea continued to defend and counterattack. Even though they were three goals behind, they didn’t change their tactics.
The commentator lashed out at Grant and nicknamed him "Grant the Coward".
But Grant has his own considerations.
He knows how powerful Lazio’s attack is, and he has conceded three goals in his own defense. If he presses himself out to play against Lazio, Chelsea will die even worse in the current situation of both teams.
Being three goals behind doesn’t mean that you will have a great chance of winning when you get back to home, but it’s better than being four or five goals behind, right?
Grant is 100% sure that if he lets Chelsea go out and attack now, the defence will be screened by Lazio before and after they score.
Although there are quite a few goals, they are still reversing their chances. It is not uncommon for Champions League history to fall behind by three goals in the first leg and then reverse in the second leg.
The most famous recent example is that Chang Sheng lost to AC Milan 14 away when he coached Valencia, and fell behind by three goals. As a result, he won AC Milan a 5 when he returned to Valencia at home in the second round! Finally advanced to the final and won the championship.
Said the theory, losing three goals in the first round can still make a comeback.
But if you lose four goals … It seems that there has never been a case in the history of the Champions League that you fell behind by four goals in the first round and then turned over.
So he doesn’t care what other people think. He continues to stick to his death and even gives his own orders to the players on the court-continue to defend and fight back! Don’t rush to attack!
Grant’s strategy succeeded, even though the commentator kept criticizing him for being timid and conservative, Chelsea really didn’t keep losing goals.
Finally, when the game was over, Lazio beat Chelsea 3 at home.
Grant didn’t achieve his goal of scoring an away goal, but he was satisfied with the result after that game.
At the press conference after the game, he said, "Three goals behind is not the end of the world. I firmly believe that we can reverse it in the second round and we can work miracles with all our manpower!"
He hoped that the media would interpret his remarks as a desperate man dying …
Then he laughed at him and sentenced him and the team to death.
Because he knows that his image in the media is not good.
The media will not miss this opportunity to laugh at him.
No one is willing to be scolded unless he is mentally ill. Grant is not. He is willing to be laughed at by the media because he wants to influence his winning streak and make him proud and despise his enemy.
If Lazio continues this game, it will be difficult for Chelsea to win at home.
If you want to create a miracle, you should expect your opponent to make mistakes besides doing your best.
Valencia was able to reverse the AC Milan game because AC Milan had a strong enemy. In that game, they were like being interrupted by someone. It was a typical underestimation.
If Lazio can beat Chelsea lightly, they have a chance to beat them.
Otherwise … everything will be over.
If the media say that Chelsea is dead, Lazio will underestimate the enemy, even if the Lazio coach does not underestimate the Lazio players.
If you can influence even some Lazio players … Chelsea have a chance to succeed.
But is winning always that easy?
Maybe he wouldn’t think so if he knew that Changsheng was a traveler and knew everything about him and Chelsea.
Lighten the enemy?
How could Chang Sheng not think of such a thing?
Someone asked him to deal with him in the same way. How could he be?
Chapter one hundred and ninety-six How can you underestimate your enemy?
On the night after the game, the Italian media was excited again.
In their eyes, Lazio has advanced to the final.
Roma TV simply announced that Lazio was the first team to reach the final.
The guests invited by the TV station are talking loudly.
Tell everyone what Lazio can advance to the final.
They analyze it from all angles.
Some people say that the head coach always wins and leads well, while others say that the players are talented.
Others say it’s time and fate …
Anyway, the base is touting Lazio’s argument.
"Excellent coaching ability is the key to Lazio’s rapid rise … Think about what Lazio was like three seasons ago, and now we have to admit that Lazio has always brought new life to this team. He seems to be particularly good at doing this kind of thing, whether in Hertha or Valencia …"
Breno Pacheco angrily dropped the camera and threw away the remote control.
"I don’t fucking admit it!" He shouted at the screen that had dropped the TV.
Lazio beat Chelsea’s leg 3-0 at home and marched into Luzhniki Stadium.
There are many people who are unhappy with this result, and Pacheco is one of them.
He wants Lazio to have bad luck. Hope is always better than bad luck.
As a result, he worked hard for half a season, but Lazio suffered some minor setbacks and didn’t hurt his bones.
It’s like being against him, but it’s getting better and better
Lazio is ten points ahead of Inter Milan, the second place, with four league matches left … What is that concept?
That means Lazio will win the first three rounds if they want to win another round of the league!
