Chelsea FC Asian Tour

Chelsea is doing a pre-season tour of Asia this summer with visits to Guangzhou, Macau and finally Malaysia. Here are the highlights...

Guangzhou Pharmaceutical vs Chelsea


New Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari's first match in charge of the Blues was great with the 4-0 final score reflecting the whole match. The goals came from Solomon Kalou, Argentina teenager Di Santo, Wright-Philips and a superd chip from super Frank Lampard.

P/S: I just love the way these South American commentators do it when a person scores a goal. GOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Chengdu Blades vs Chelsea


Chelsea dazzled in this romp with 7 goals each coming from Anelka, Kalou, Lampard, Di Santo, Shaun Wright-Philips, and a brace from Joe Cole. The goal of the match would definately go to Cole with his exquisite close-range backheel drag from Essien's low near post cross.

Next up, our very own Malaysian select XI...

Malaysia Select XI vs Chelsea


Alrighty, Malaysian Select backed by millions of home supporter put up a good fight but still the quality was the difference in this game. There were a few chances for the Malaysians to score but the quality wasn't there and a goal each from Nicolas Anelka and Ashley Cole was enough for the win.
