Manager Grant praises Chelsea style
22:25 January, 26, 2008
Avram Grant is delighted with the way his Chelsea Football Club are coping without a number of key players.
Despite injuries to John Terry and Frank Lampard and a number of players unavailable due to the African Cup of Nations, the Blues have clinched a place in the Carling Cup final and continue to press in the Premier League.
And thanks to Nicolas Anelka’s first goal for the club and a striker from Shaun Wright-Phillips, the Londoners saw off the challenge of Wigan Athletic on Saturday to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
"Anelka is a proven striker, and I think my judgment on him has proven to be correct,” said Grant. "But the most important thing is we keep the style of the team, even if we've a number of players unavailable.
"The likes of Shaun and Steve Sidwell are doing a decent job, and that tells me what I thought, that the players have developed well in the last three months. We have developed our football, our spirit, and we keep playing our game.”
