Chelsea were ultra pissed that he signed for us.
They must have hundreds of Ngumohas in a warehouse somewhere.
๐๐ซ๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ญ: โI had quite a long holiday for five or six weeks. I enjoyed winning the league for a very long time. The moment we started again, that was the moment we stopped thinking about it. Now there are no moments to enjoy what we did last season. We need to be ready.โ

It could be because of a tough training camp or the heat, but we definitely have to improve that.โ
Even in the context of pre-season (building fitness, player rotations, different climate, possible bad pitches), certain things absolutely matter, especially at such big football clubs. Slot said it himself after Milan.
We donโt go from being so-so in friendlies and being relaxed like on the beach to being bang on point on matchday 1 just like that. Itโs why pre-season is there and especially modern pre-seasons. We want to get into rhythm. Itโs not only to build fitness, itโs constant working on our football, cohesion, phases of play, partnerships, etc.
Nobody is panicking in saying that weโve seen some positive stuff (Iโd say mostly in combination play between the lines, there seems to be nice fluidity), but also some low level defensive transitioning (which is also linked to losing possession, understandable in pre-season and a lack of better counter-pressing).
Fixing some things takes a bit more time and with less friendlies, we will see less โexperimentsโ and less game time for players that either wonโt be here or wonโt play much. Now itโs time to push and start building the XI (and the cohesion within) we will start the season with.
Has to justify his transfer price
One yen at a time.
Not many skilful players, so itโs understandable that they appreciate each other. I actually felt thinking from Wirtzโs perspective, who he might like and Curtis immediately popped to my mind.
Iโm surprised Flo can understand a word CJ says tbh.
Young love
The commentator said the plan had been to give Ekitike 30 mins, so he actually played 50% longer than was intended lol
Only because he was so bad that we couldnt give him the hook so early and kill his confidence
assuming thats a joke?..have only seen the goals and a few passing commentsโฆ
