It is reported that Joe Cole, who was robbed of his position by new signing Anelka in the Carling Cup final, intends to leave, but Cole himself says he is happy at Chelsea.
Grant's foolish move to put Anelka on the wing not only cost Chelsea the game, but also caused a lot of criticism after the game, and the coaching position was in jeopardy. Fortunately, a 4-0 victory, like a timely rain, temporarily saved his job. Alex, Ballack and other outstanding players expressed their dissatisfaction with being excluded from the team, while Joe Cole was surprised that his position on the wing was given to Anelka. Cole didn't express his dissatisfaction. In the 4-0 victory over West Ham, he announced his return with a wonderful goal.
In an interview with The Sun after the game, Joe Cole emphasized that he is a professional player and will not complain because he can't play occasionally. "I didn't participate in every game of the club. As a player, my job is to do my best on the court. I played against West Ham and made a contribution. I am very satisfied with my performance and I am very happy that the team has won a big victory. "
After the victory, Chelsea were only seven points away from the top Arsenal, and they missed one game. Joe Cole said that it is very important to get back in time in the championship stage. He continued: "This is a great rebound, not only from the players on the field, but also from everyone in the club. The league has entered the final stage of the championship competition, and now it is time to find the state. "
The following week, Chelsea will play Olympiacos at home in the Champions League and barnsley away in the FA Cup. These two cups will determine the number of champions and the fate of coach Grant. Both of Chelsea's opponents are weaker than others, which obviously benefits from their consistent cup draw.
