Your Chelsea XI. 🔵

🚨OFFICIAL! Chelsea XI v Arsenal

Todd Boehly:

“The whole management team left. I was stuck being interim Sporting Director for a summer having no idea what made a good football player, but knowing that Marc Cucurella, if Man City wants him, I want him. It was really simple that way..

Todd Boehly:

“The reality of it is that you have a plan and you stick to it and when you get new information you pivot and you adjust, and you’re not shameful about adjusting with new information, but you can’t flip flop. You can’t be like, well you know, left hand, right hand, left hand, right hand and trying to build something that really is about, you know ex*****on over a long periods of time and building an infrastructure and a foundation that you can just continue to work with… The first time at anything is tricky, so you’re going to make mistakes.”

Todd Boehly:

“You recognise that the fans demand urgency. Plans also often don't allow for urgency. Plans are things that are crafted, executed and put in place. If you look at the Dodgers, it took a couple of years to really get the culture right, the team right, all these elements that have to come together.“

Todd Boehly:

“You're talking about 5% odds of winning the Premier League, if everything was equal, and the Dodgers right now - they are probably, if you went to Vegas, that you're maybe 1 in 3, 30% odds of winnings. Investing is really about odds and probabilities.”(iconnections)

🚨BREAKING! Starting from the 26/27 season. If a player takes too long, possession will switch to the opposition, meaning a goal-kick could become a corner, or a throw would go to the opposition.

Also: A substituted player must leave the field within 10 seconds, and if they fail to do so their replacement will not be immediately able to come on. Their team must play with one fewer player for at least 60 seconds and until the ball next goes out. (BBC)

Pedro Neto:

“When you play here, you have a lot of expectations, like if you can be champion or not, if you can make the Champions League or not, & if you don’t do it, the pressure is a lot. It’s good pressure and you only get affected by that if you let it, but it’s the standards of this club.”
