From Zero To Hero

Chelsea's coach Avram Grant can become the big hero after Chelsea qualified for the Champions League final. What Gullit, Vialli, Ranieri and Mourinho couldn't do...he did.

By beating Liverpool yesterday by 3 - 2 they will face Manchester United in three weeks time in the Final.

Although it never looked very good for Avram Grant and Chelsea the whole season they are still in the race to win the Premier League after beating Manchester United last week and the Champions League after beating Liverpool yesterday in the semi final.

Avram Grant took over a legacy from a coach with charisma. He is the absolute opposite of Mourinho and in that way not popular at all, even hated by some.

With hardly any experience he took over as manager one of the biggest teams in the world.

And although he made some mistakes in the past I have to admit he is doing a fine job so far. When he made mistakes he was demolished in the press. And looking back on it it might have been good for the team because in that way the team was saved from most of the criticism.

After struggling for almost the whole season the team seems to have found their second breath and are on a cruising speed in the last few weeks and Chelsea might have the best season in their history.

Living in the shadow of the special one, Mourinho, wasn't easy but at the end of the season Avram Grant might step out of that shadow and become the one and only special one!

It's like the old saying : In football anything is possible.
And what is more inspirational in life than seeing the underdog of underdogs, the zero, become hero!
