Av blasts at Fergie tricks
AVRAM GRANT has warned Alex Ferguson: Your mind
games will not work in Moscow. Manchester United boss Fergie
claimed victory in the war of words before last weekend’s Premier
League showdown.
In fact, the cheeky Scot revealed he had a thank-you
text from Bolton boss Gary Megson for firing up his players ahead
of their 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. But Chelsea chief Grant is
determined he and his Blues stars will not fall for the old
master’s tricks ahead of the Champions League final next
Wednesday.
Fergie has already declared Chelsea have the advantage
because they have more experienced players. But Grant rapped: “No
team has the advantage and Sir Alex can say whatever he likes.
“They want to take the Champions League and we want to take the
Champions League but no team has an advantage before the game.”
Grant is feeling upbeat ahead of the match in the
Luzhniki Stadium. And he forecasted an historic win for Chelsea. He
said: “I’m very confident we can beat United. We beat them two
weeks ago at Stamford Bridge.
“I don’t think they’re better than us. In these games
small things make the difference. It’s very exciting because it’s
the first time my club are in the Champions League final.”
