FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED from Chelsea's pre-season prevail upon Club America
Chelsea didn't make it simple for themselves however they left with a 2-1 win from their pre-season cordial with Club America.
Timo Werner opened the scoring for the Blues before Reece James scored an own objective. Nonetheless, Mason Mount came to make all the difference by scoring the victor.
Here, Sportsmail's Mike Keegan takes a gander at five things we gained from the experience.
Parody NIGHT IN VEGAS
In the event that you will make a blooper, doing it in a useless pre-season accommodating a huge number of miles from home is ideal. With Chelsea 1-0 up and cruising Reece James had a lot of time and no tension. He passed the ball back to where he thought third-string plug Marcus Bettinelli would be, just he wasn't. The ball moved into an unfilled objective to reestablish equality absurdly. Oh no.
RAHEEM NOT SEEN
Those trusting they would get a sneak pinnacle of Chelsea's marquee £47.5m man were left disheartened when he was excluded from the crew. Chief Thomas Tuchel had said that the game would come too soon for Sterling, expressing that the previous Manchester City star was on an 'individual program', with the remainder of the crew 'fourteen days in front of him'. Individual new kid Kalidou Koulibaly was another flake-out. The £43m appearance from Napoli just showed up on Friday and might be one more to make his bow on the following stop in Charlotte this week.
BATSHUAYI LACKS KILLER TOUCH
The Belgian has complimented to beguile since joining Chelsea as far as possible back in 2016 and, in an inefficient 45 minutes here, gave little indication of meaningfully impacting his methodologies. A one-on-one out wide was the most terrible miss of a progression of scorable possibilities. He ceaselessly gets into incredible positions and his development is great, however the main part is deficient.
CHELSEA, NEVADA
Chelsea's new proprietors accept the club has immense, worldwide potential which is yet to be completely taken advantage of. By the vibes of things at the Allegiant Stadium, they have a point, Despite the general vicinity of Mexico, there were however many blue shirts as those in the yellow of Club America. The close by Luxor Hotel (the one that seems as though a pyramid) was flooded with Chelsea pullovers, numerous with names, for example, 'Iowa Blues' on the back while a stroll down the strip worked out to a soundtrack of London pronunciations. All things considered, coordinators might well have been expecting greater numbers at what looked a half-full 65,000-limit scene.
WHO NEEDS RAPHINHA?
Thomas Tuchel was excited about conveying the Leeds United focus at traditional back, however Kenedy offered looks at an answer here. The Brazilian sped all over the line, safeguarded well and carried an actual presence to the right hand side. He was unfortunate to give Chelsea the lead and it will be entrancing to check whether the German proceeds with the analysis in Charlotte. While Reece James will be best option, maybe there is another choice behind him.
ALLEGIANT STADIUM - WOW
The setting of the 2024 Super Bowl is near denoting its second-year in presence however seems to be something from what's to come. Behind one end, tremendous glass boards permit fans to see the traffic flying down Interstate 15. Considering how exhausting this match was, it was an exceptionally welcome expansion. The people who have the cash to do so took in the match from outside suites behind the objective which highlighted couches and stalls - helpful briefly rest.
