Ben Chilwell opens up about Chelsea pre season matches and their losses too and here is what he said
Chelsea star Ben Chilwell has shed light on the way they have been training in preseason.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has taken over at the Stamford Bridge club, replacing caretaker Frank Lampard.
The latter had accused the Blues of not being fit enough last season, which Pochettino is aiming to correct.
“We did the Gacon one day and we were meant to do 10 runs,” Chilwell told The Athletic, referring to the players having to run specific distances in certain time frames.
“But we got to the eighth and the manager – I still don’t know if he was doing a mental trick on us – said we could stop if we wanted.
“Everyone was on their knees after the eighth one and he said, “If everyone completes the next two, I’ll take you all out for dinner.”
“Of course we all finished, and now we’re waiting for the dinner! I’m sure it’ll come, but we just haven’t had time yet.”
