Had my annual trip to Stamford Bridge today to see Chelsea play. It was a pretty good game and its always awesome seeing them play in person.
During the pre-match warm up on the pitch Luiz and Torres were doing this exercise when Luiz was booting the ball straight up in the air and Torres had to catch it and control it with his chest. Two times in a row he couldn't control it and it bounced away. He then tried to flick the ball up and head it but he flicked it over his own head. He then tried to just do some keep ups but again he flicked the ball away from himself. He then got pissed off and flicked the ball up and tried to punch it. He swung for it and missed the ball and it bounced off his shoulder. He had enough and kicked the ball away, but it shot off at a weird angle and hit Eva the fit female team doctor in the back.
During the team announcement when they went though the names of the players and everyone cheered after each name was called out, when it came to Torres name being called out it was almost silence in the stadium, seriously nobody in there cheered him. And that just about summed it his day, he was really awful.
Watching Willian play in person was sick. He is seriously so good, easily the best player of the day. He was dominating in the middle, making so many passes and chances, constantly getting the ball back. Dude put in so much work. And his goal was awesome.
Watching Hazard in person was sick as well, he is seriously good. His movement with the ball is insane. And one of the funnier moments of the game was when there was a freekick in about the middle of Stokes half. Luiz stood over the ball, walked slowly back and poised himself ready to shoot. Just as he was about to take it Hazard just ran up in front of him and passed the ball out to the side which everyone cheered.
