A visit from Chelsea

Chelsea came to Malaysia and no doubt I was going to be there watching them and seeing the real thing.

I got my rm83 ticket on the day before the match was held and thank god it hasn't sold out.

Me thinking bout the match

I left home around 6pm and it took me two and a half hours to get to Shah Alam Stadium due to the terrible jam. While we were on the highway, I noticed a lot of cars was heading there as well as the driver and the passengers were wearing their beloved Chelsea jerseys like me.

The Jam

If we had gone a lil bit later we could have missed the start of the match. Lucky for us, we arrived there at 8.30pm and finding a car park was easy. The next 15 minutes was the worst because the entrance was closed while thousand of people are waiting to enter so me and Ivan had had to squeeze our way into the stadium when the entrance finally opened.



Now the excitement starts!!! We entered the stadium just on time as both team was ready for kickoff. The stadium was almost full, the crowd was crazy and Captain John Terry, Petr Cech with his striking orange jersey, and the other big names footballer I usually see on TV was right in front of my naked eyes. It was totally awesome!



Finally, the match ended in a 2-0 score line in the favor of Chelsea and the man of the match went to Frank Lampard. But still I wasn't satisfied, so I decided to run on to the pitch to at least get a picture with someone but the guardsmen were already standing in front so I had no choice but to sit back.

As the players went back to the dressing room, me and Ivan went out to send them away in their buses and I got to see Luiz Phillip Scolari waving at my way and also Deco who was just right in front of me. AMAZING!!! Too bad I did not get to take a photo of them but I do have something. Check it out...



See the bald headed guy right at the center of this picture? That's Nicolas Anelka!!! :D

At the end of the day, it was a great experience and I would love to see them play again.
