    On April 21, after playing the away game against Murcia, the Mallorca team immediately rushed to London to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

    Their opponent is Chelsea. After meeting Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals in the 0405 season, Mallorca met Chelsea again in the Champions League semi-finals. Before that, Mallorca had an eight-point tie with Chelsea in the 0506 season.  They met in the finals, and they met in the group stage of the 2007 season In other words, after that time, Mallorca met Chelsea in the Champions League every year, and UEFA has taken great pains.

    When it comes to revenge, Mallorca definitely exacted too much. After being eliminated from the Champions League final by Chelsea, they defeated Chelsea for two consecutive years and then won the Champions League. So this time after arriving in London  , there seems to be no grudge between the two parties

    The most important thing is that everyone feels that Mourinho and Jose were fighting against each other in the past. Jose beat Mourinho a lot, and Mourinho also gave him a heavy blow. However, Mourinho is  His contract with Chelsea was terminated before the start of this season. Without this highlight, it seems to be just an ordinary Champions League semi-final.

    After all, everyone knows that without Mourinho, Chelsea seems to have lost a layer of luster. Under the leadership of Grant, although Chelsea has entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, it has lost the magic of the past.

    "Mourinho? I can't say that I miss him very much, because Chelsea with him is a very difficult opponent to deal with. Every time I play against him, Chelsea makes me feel sad. But to be honest, without Mourinho  Chelsea in Austria is like a dish without salt, tasteless." Jose replied in an interview.

    ¡°As for the Israeli coach Grant, Jose fully demonstrated his attitude.

    "Chelsea? I don't think Chelsea have a coach now. The imprint of a great coach on a team may be eliminated, but it will not be eliminated so easily. Even if Chelsea will get some results this year, it will only be Mourinho  Even if there is no coach to lead the team, this group of players can achieve the results they should achieve. They are Premier League champions and Champions League champions."

    Jose unabashedly expressed his contempt for Grant, perhaps because of the resonance of a coach. Jose and Mourinho have many differences, but what they have in common is that they have strong control**.  They have to keep everything in their hands and don't like any constraints - because they all firmly believe that doing things their own way is the best thing for the team!

    And Grant entered the locker room as a direct descendant of Abramovich, playing a role called technical support but actually monitoring. It is strange that Mourinho would look good on him. If it were Jose, he would not look good either.  Although it is impossible for Jose to appoint someone to monitor him.

    Jose said this, with the intention of helping Mourinho settle the injustice, but more importantly, he wanted to disrupt Chelsea's locker room. After all, the Chelsea locker room is definitely not peaceful now. Mourinho's three years of management at Chelsea  , almost creating a monolithic locker room. If Terry hadn't stood on the chairman's side at the critical moment, Abramovich might not have dared to fire Mourinho immediately. Even so, Lampard, Drogba and other Mourinho  His direct descendants are still dissatisfied with the new head coach. They try their best in the game just because they are professional players

    And when Jose was interviewed, he praised Chelsea players infinitely, and at the same time directly ignored their current head coach Grant, just to make Chelsea's locker room even more confrontational, a team that is not united, even if they are on the court.  No matter how hard they try, they can't pose much of a threat to a team that is equally strong and works together.

    After hearing Jose¡¯s interview, Grant¡¯s anger completely burst out.

    "When I took over, Chelsea were ninth in the league. Now we are second, only three points away from first place Manchester United. When I took over, Chelsea suffered a defeat in the Champions League group stage.  After a draw, I won three consecutive games immediately after taking office and led the team to the semi-finals. I don't know why my efforts are always ignored by others, maybe because I can't show off? But now I sit in this position  It's me! Anyone who underestimates me and Chelsea will pay the price!"

    After hearing Grant's response, Jose immediately responded: "I have never underestimated Chelsea. Chelsea has caused us a lot of trouble every year in the past three years and won the Champions League. Every time we  Win and win with care, and if I underestimate them, I'm underestimating my Mallorca, and obviously that's not what I'm talking about."

    From the time Mallorca arrived in London to the start of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, it only tookFor two days, the war of words was naturally impossible to get on such a large scale, so after the two back and forth confrontations, the two sides began to calm down and prepare for the next game.

    Although he constantly despises Grant, Jose has never underestimated this guy in his heart. This is a coach with excellent theoretical knowledge. Maybe he can only lead the team on paper. However, Mourinho spent three years at Chelsea.  The team built in 2016 allowed Grant to maximize his tactical ability, and this group of Chelsea players were also in their prime, otherwise there would not have been cracks in the locker room, and some players would not listen.  Under the direction of the coach, they made it all the way to the Champions League semi-finals, and also failed to catch up with Manchester United in the league.

    Such a Chelsea team certainly has their strong strength. In the three seasons led by Mourinho, they won two Premier League championships, one Champions League championship, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League once. Although they did not seem to be  There is no particularly brilliant record, but everyone admits that Chelsea is the hardest bone to crack!

    Even Mallorca, who has the best teeth, has to admit this. Mallorca's most difficult opponent in the Champions League is not Barcelona, ??which performed well before, but Chelsea, the steel warrior!

    No matter how good Barcelona performed in the season before the World Cup, they only caused trouble for Mallorca in one season, but what about Chelsea?  For three whole seasons, they have been Mallorca's most troublesome opponents!  If Chelsea hadn't been defeated by Liverpool first last season, Mallorca might have had an even bigger headache in the final!

    Facing such a troublesome team, Jose not only disturbed their military morale before, but also made a lot of preparations for this game.

    When April 23rd came, both sides announced their lineups in unison.

    Mallorca's main lineup all appeared, Van der Sar, Maicon, Riise, Matias, Pepe, Senna, Alonso, Ballack, Kak¨¢, Henry, Klose - this is a set  A lineup that is not inferior to Chelsea in terms of strength and running. Everyone's confrontation and running ability are quite good, which is in sharp contrast to the offensive lineup of the substitutes.

    When Mallorca has strength, it is difficult to deal with them, because they do not have any weaknesses. Although this main lineup is no longer young on the offensive line, it is still in a very top state.

    Chelsea also played their best. They did not suffer too many losses in the quarter-finals. Goalkeeper Cech and defender Essien switched to right back, left back Ashley Cole, and the center back partners are still Terry and  Carvalho and Makelele were behind in the midfield, Mikel took Essien's place, Lampard stepped forward, and on the front line, Joe Cole and Kalou shared the wings, and Drogba stepped forward.

    However, compared with previous seasons, Chelsea's strength this season has indeed dropped a lot. This summer, because of the bad relationship with Mourinho, Abramovich rejected the proposal to sign Mourinho again. Instead,  Robben and Duff were sold, and only Pizarro and Malouda were brought in for free. Only one of the four prominent wingers of the year was Joe Cole. The overall lineup and bench thickness were also worse than before.  A lot.

    The Stamford Bridge stadium is still full, but compared with Chelsea's current status, the Stamford Bridge stadium, which can only accommodate more than 40,000 people, seems a bit smaller. Sometimes Chelsea fans will complain about Abramovich - you are not very rich.  How good would it be to help us build a new stadium for 50,000 or 60,000 people? Look at Jose, he built such a big stadium without any money, and he didn¡¯t ask fans to raise funds or anything

    But after all, Abramovich¡¯s arrival has transformed Chelsea from a quasi-first-class team into a truly first-class team and a wealthy club. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not express it.

    Chelsea fans have mixed feelings about Mourinho's departure. They like Mourinho very much as a coach. Two league championships and a Champions League championship are all great achievements that have made up for the gaps in Chelsea's history.  , the Champions League title won was the first Champions Cup title ever won by a London team, which was enough to make Chelsea fans feel proud in front of fans of Arsenal, Tottenham and other teams in the same city!

    However, as an English fan, the idea of ??only being loyal to the team prevents them from taking a clear-cut stand against Chairman Abramovich, so in this incident, they are just silent, watching silently where Chelsea will go next

    The Champions League has reached the semi-finals, and the league is also chasing Manchester United. They begin to feel that it is understandable to fire Mourinho. After all, if the head coach and the chairman are at odds, it will not be good for the team in the end. Since  It is impossible to let Abramovich leave, so it seems inevitable that Mourinho will leave.?¡­

    There is no doubt that Chelsea fans are quite tangled now, and the entire team is also extremely tangled. In this tangled situation, they met the powerful Mallorca. Stamford Bridge is looking forward to the team reaching the final again.  Strive to win a second Champions League championship - Mourinho, who is on vacation, has remained silent. It is impossible for him to cheer for Grant, but he still has deep feelings for Chelsea.

    When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the Chelsea fans let go of their entangled mood and began to shout loudly and cheer loudly for their team!

    On the court, Mallorca, who took the lead in kicking off the ball, had already started passing the ball back and forth in the midfield, gradually launching an attack.
