Quite a decent win. After a poor first half, Chelsea picked up momentum in the second half and Didier Drogba was there to clean up Brondby. More than anything, at the end of the pre-season friendlies, key players stayed away from injuries as much as possible.
Are you back to your senses after that defeat last week? Cool it. Let’s treat a friendly like one and give it only what it deserves. In our last pre-season friendly, we meet Brondby on Tuesday evening. In other news, even the new french-beard of Benitez has not impressed Jose, and some bits and pieces in and around the transfer market. Read on.
We’ve been discussing quite heatedly about Jose Mourinho and Chelsea’s playing style under him. So, I thought I’ll tell you what I feel. Jose has been getting a lot of criticism from various quarters for various reasons. I’d like to analyze to see if he really deserves this amount of criticism. Remember, he’s a darling of a great percentage of Chelsea fans that his name is sung everytime we play at Stamford Bridge. A lot of his players, rivals and competitors have great respect for him and hold him in very high regard. But still he seems to have this incredible love-hate relationship with the press, fans, rivals and sometimes even with his players!
First defeat of the season. Luckily for me, the internet stream was so screwed up that I ended up playing Winning Eleven with my mate, after the first half. No one likes to lose but I’m not stupid to get worried for a defeat in a friendly match. With what little I saw and what the various reports say, it was a very exciting match with opportunities for both the teams but they scored twice in the last 4 minutes, when Tal erred (?) and Hilario was on goal.
John Terry has finally signed a new contract with Chelsea to stay until 2012. After a season where we saw a series of unfortunate events, this season has been very pleasant so far – Roman making peace with Jose, getting very crucial reinforcements, changing the formation and now Terry committing for the next five years.
