kmk108 1,186 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Not ideal, but they're professionals that train every day. Even if new signings aren't ready for preseason, I don't think it'll take them long to get into the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Should we be concerned that we are gonna play only 4 games in pre-season, including the Community Shield? Don't want us to go into the season under-cooked again like in 2015/16, especially when we have a rough first 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the problem's in 15/16 more down to Jose mentally knackering the player's? I'm sure the light pre season (which i think was more down to relaxed training, which won't be an issue under Conte) didn't help but any physical rustiness would have been gone by September and we still performed like dog until Christmas.

Yeah but that wasn't the only reason we underperformed or started badly, was it? We looked off the pace physically from the start and never recovered. Training hard won't necessarily help get the match sharpness and fitness up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Guess my question has been answered... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/05/diego-costa-chelsea-atletico-madrid-offer The players are due to begin double sessions later next week and will play two friendlies, one behind closed doors, prior to departing on a summer tour of China and Singapore on 18 July. They play Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Internazionale in the Far East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 For some reason I just now realized that we are only playing 3 pre-season matches. What the hell are Conte and the board thinking? Have we learned nothing from the 15-16 season? We are most likely going to start the season physically behind most teams which probably means that we will have a slow start leading to panic all around.

Jason posted a link from the guardian a couple posts above. We're gonna be playing 2 more friendlies (1 behind closed doors (probably both ?) before we leave for our Asia tour. That would bring our total up to 5 games with the community shield making it 6. Last preseason we played 6 games + 1 game behind closed doors so it's not so different. kmk108 and CHOULO19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to, but looks like Conte don't rate him that high unfortunately. Think we will gonna sell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
