Chelsea’s short preseason and CWC has provided perfect springboard into season

Premier League soccer is BACK!!

We had the standard Charity Defend recreation on Sunday which noticed Crystal Palace beat Liverpool on penalties, and that’s the second that PL soccer has returned.

The fixtures formally begin this coming weekend, with Chelsea dealing with that very same Palace aspect who beat Liverpool, at 2pm on Sunday afternoon UK time.

The actual problem begins subsequent weekend. The lengthy and grueling Premier League season towards many low blocks and cussed setups. Add the Champions League again into that blend as effectively now, and we may have a really robust season developing. There’ll by no means be an ‘straightforward’ recreation for us to play, and we might want to step up throughout your entire season. It will likely be the massive take a look at that this squad wants now. We are going to really see the place we’re at as a squad, as a supervisor in Enzo Maresca, and as a membership on this mission, come the top of this season.

We’ve got had probably the most good preparation for the league beginning once more, not less than when it comes to outcomes and performances. Fatigue might be a query after having simply three weeks off earlier than go time once more after profitable the Membership World Cup. However profitable that competitors, enjoying so effectively in it, and profitable our final two friendlies towards Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan with ease this weekend, has been the very best prep for the PL beginning once more this weekend.

Chelsea breezed previous each Bayer and AC Milan and participant effectively in each video games. The brand new signings look to be very a lot on level. The vibes are superb. The followers are constructive and feeling good. The supervisor seems filled with confidence. The gamers look prepared and filled with high quality. And it seems like an ideal time for Chelsea to proceed the momentum of an ideal summer season and take it into league video games now.

If I’m being choosy then I can moan about Milan’s aim and the way we had been reduce via. However I’m not going to be too choosy for now not less than. We scored 4, we thrashed them, and we beat them with ease. I can not conceal my total issues in regards to the defence and goalkeeper although – with some enormous query marks there for me normally, however I can maintain out hope that we nonetheless handle that within the closing weeks of the window.

However the total really feel is nice and it’s an ideal time to enter the season and proceed these nice performances.
