Maybe it’s just because we’ve been so starved of Chelsea action since the season ended, but we’ve really been enjoying the training footage released in videos by the club since preseason started.
This week’s is full of interesting stuff. Rondos, possession games and so on. One split second we noticed was after 6 minutes and 50 seconds. New signing Marc Guiu, still a teenager with just a handful of top flight minutes, smashes into a challenge with two defenders and comes off best.
That’s exactly the sort of physicality we want to see from him to prove that he’s able to fill in right away as a first team backup. The more of that we see in these sessions and, the happier we’ll be.
