Chelsea keep training methods secret ahead of key month at Cobham


Chelsea are in the middle of a really fascinating period of just one game in a month, meaning new manager Graham Potter will have an exceptional amount of time on the training pitch with the group.

Chelsea’s “Unseen Extra” shows them having a laugh and playing football tennis this week. We’re sure there are other drills on the agenda…

Interestingly, this clip is less than two minutes long. Usually they’re 7 or 8 minutes.

Could it be that Potter is working on something he doesn’t want the fans to know about?

You can see the full session in the clip embedded here:

It was deadline of the 2012 transfer window when young defender Frederic Veseli crossed the great divide. The promis...

Despite his heroics, many feel that Havertz’s Chelsea career has so far been slightly disappointing. But he is starting to find form in recent weeks, with the Blues starting to gel under Graham Potter.

He explained to The Guardian: “Some of my teammates call me Donkey. It’s not because of my football. “From day one, I felt a special relationship with donkeys.

And when I lost, I would go to the sanctuary. You look at the animals, see something human in them. It was a ...
