Chelsea executed Maresca’s game-plan perfectly, striking fast, the Cobham Cobras. In the PL, not many elite opponents will be as open as PS-G were. Chelsea will face more low blocks. But #CFC return from the #FIFAClubWorldCup a better balanced side...
There’s a gallery of 50 photos from our World Cup win on the official Chelsea app
Not one of them features either Donald Trump or Gianni Infantino….which is quite good
Cole Palmer possesses many qualities including the ability to find space and create space. Intelligent, ghost-like movement into space (first goal). Skill and composure to create space for the shot by committing opponents with a subtle feint (Vitinha, Beraldo for his second). Nasa-level space exploration. Palmer's a very special talent. And he's still only 23. #CFC #FIFAClubWorldCup
The planet is blue
Enzo Maresca on his first season as Chelsea manager…
FIFA Club World Cup winner.
Conference League winner.
Champions League spot.
Excellent impact. #CFC
Decent first half, on the whole
Chelsea excellent in “the first quarter” as they head into the “cooling break”. Quicker, more physical, prepared to go long wide. PSG rattled by Chelsea’s intensity. Have to maintain it in the heat. #CFC #CHEPSG #FIFAClubWorldCup
