It's interesting seeing the Premier League go global with top friendly games being played in the U.S. and Asia.
This game, played in Beijing, gave us a chance to see (at least partly) what Chelsea and Arsenal have been preparing ahead of the new season.
In a nutshell, Michy Batshuayi was great for Chelsea. It looks like he could offer Morata a real challenge if Conte decides to continue playing with a single striker.
Lacazette was unimpressive, albeit it will take the time to settle in and many of the players aren't at their full potential yet.
Alexis Sanchez would have watched the game from Paris, if at all. The forward is reportedly there negotiating a deal with PSG.
I am exited for the new season. But friendley games are friendly games, you never know on what level they are playing and how goeed the motivation is. Look at A.C. Milan at HT against Bayern 3-0. Who could have predicted that and is Milan now the number 1 contender in Italia??? Who knows? we will see it in a few weeks. Can not wait :)
Was that in approvement of the previous statement or..? :))
