As much as I wanted so bad to see this match at the stadium in Chicago to see my Blues play “in-person”, I somewhat got that wish already when I saw them during their training @ UCLA earlier last week.
There are a number of things I'd like to point out, though:
1. To watch a number of newly signed footballers on the pitch needs some getting used to…
2. It was interesting to see what Mourinho did with the formation, given his player selections
3. …and it was cool to watch the boys again. ^_^
The end result of the friendly was not positive however, as the “MLS All-Stars” beat Chelsea in a convincing fashion. I don't put too much weight on it, though — as it's a friendly, but got worried when I saw Coley go down and writhe in pain. Just wondering again what's going on in Mr. Mourinho's mind as he evaluates the Blues…
Good game, MLS All-Stars. I can't wait for the friendly to be played here in Los Angeles next year. For now, more pre-season matches and then the Charity Shield! ^_^
