Brighton Performance Sinks Chelsea:

Chelsea Played a Friendly Match Against Brighton But was a shocking Defeat To Chelsea By 3-1 As Chelsea Played Their Probable Line Up, But No-one Expected That.Chelsea’s preseason record finished: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses – 8 goals scored, 10 goals conceded. As defending European champions that is quite dire.Roberto Di Matteo vented his frustration at Chelsea’s poor performance in their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Championship side, Brighton.‘I was expecting more from my team in terms of urgency and movement,’ said the Italian. ‘I was looking for a better performance than the one we gave today.Chelsea had taken the lead through a Frank Lampard finish before succumbing to two Brighton goals in the first half. It was lacklustre match from the Champions League winners, who have been uncharacteristically chaotic in defence.‘We were too stretched, never aggressive enough and didn’t get the ball back quickly enough when we lost it. With the ball, there wasn’t enough movement and there were a lot of things we didn’t do. We have to be a bit more focused and sharper.’That focus has been distinctly lacking, but as the age-old cliché goes: “better to make the mistakes in preseason”.‘There aren’t going to be radical changes, but with the integration of new players inevitably we will change a bit. The way we want to play is to win many games and score goals.”Chelsea’s attacking system has yet to click; Matt Brown discussed Chelsea’s adjustment and lack of identity.

Barcelona Edges Past PSG Through Penalties:

Barcelona Drew A Tough Match Against PSG By 2-2 As The they earned the victory By penalties with the score-sheet of 4-1.Barcelona had to rely on Jose Manuel Pinto’s penalty-stopping heroics to win the Trophée de Paris after letting a two goal lead slip against Paris Saint Germain at the Parc des Princes. Rafinha Alcântara opened the scoring for the Blaugrana after just seven minutes with a well taken half volley before Lionel Messi doubled the advantage from the penalty spot on 51 minutes after a mistake from the referee. However, a Zlatan Ibrahimovic penalty this one being legitimately awarded and a late header from Zoumana Camara meant that the two teams were tied after 90 minutes. To save stamina and because it’s only pre-season, the two sides went straight to penalties, where Pinto excelled to save two of the three PSG spot kicks, securing a 4-1 PK win for Tito Vilanova’s side. It was for the most part a good performance from Barcelona, but those two lapses in concentration could have cost them dear.
