Champions League Preview - Chelsea vs Fenerbache

Tonight, Chelsea will try to get their best squad to perform in the second leg quarter final as they are in the losing situation by 1 goal. Last Wednesday, they lost to Fenerbache 2-1 although they were leading the game by 1 nile before the half time.


Avram Grant spoke to the media for the pre-match press conference :-
"Of course I have thought about the game in Istanbul," said Grant. "I don't think any game is the same as the last one and [Tuesday] will be a different game. In Istanbul it was a good performance but the worst result, so obviously we don't want it to be the same. These things happen in football, especially when you dominate the game and your concentration is affected. The only thing I would say is that we have learned from our mistakes. We want to dominate this game, which won't be easy, and then we want to stay concentrated for the whole game. Our target is to reach the semi-finals and we will do everything to reach it. It's a big opportunity for us." ( uefa )

But, they still need to beat the on form Fenerbache that would like to continue their strong run in this season's champions league and hoping they can reach the first ever semi final in their club history.


He also spoke: " the fact his team, 2-1 weekend victors over Kayserispor, hold the lead will not affect the way they approach the match. "We will play the way we always play," he said, "and that's to attack. It's the reason we are here. Every single minute, every second, will be important. We have to be careful and take our advantages in the good spells we will have." "
