Premier League giant Chelsea achieved great results last season. While winning the European League championship, they also topped the first Club World Cup after the restructuring. After the summer window opened, the Blues also introduced 8 new players, with a total investment of more than 250 million euros. Before the start of the new Premier League season, Chelsea actively arranged a warm-up match, and they faced Serie A giant AC Milan on this match day. In this game, Kubis scored an own goal and was red. Palmer, who was worth 120 million, missed opportunities many times. Drapp scored twice, Modric completed his first career in AC Milan, and Chelsea won 4-1.

Chelsea set up a 4231 formation in this game, with two new players Pedro and Gittens starting, and the main players such as Palmer, Enzo, Kesedo and Cucurella taking the game. AC Milan set out in a 3511 formation, Leo led the front line, new aid Richie was in the midfield, while Modric was on standby on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, Chelsea had obvious advantages. Just 6 minutes into the game, Gittens broke through on the left and was knocked down. Rees James made a set piece, Charoba headed the ball to the top, and Kubis knocked the ball into his own goal in the melee, 1-0!

2 minutes later, Chelsea won another goal:

Netto cut in from the right and made a cross, Pedro scored a header in front of the goal, Minion was beyond the reach, and Chelsea led 2-0. After joining this summer for 63.7 million euros, Pedro can be said to be plug-and-play, and has scored 3 goals in 4 appearances!

In the 19th minute, Sanchez made a long pass with a big foot and directly connected to Pedro. Curbis was forced to hold a foul. Since he was the last defensive player, the referee showed a red card and AC Milan kicked one less player. Then Palmer directly shot a free kick and missed the post. In the 28th minute, Chelsea made a comeback, Palmer made a cross and volleyed in the penalty area, slightly above the crossbar.

In the 42nd minute, Salmarcoles hit the wall with a free kick, Ricci moved to the right, Terracino made a cross, and Leo jumped to the top to make a comeback, but unfortunately he was offside. In the stoppage time of the halftime, Gittens made a cross from the left, Neto shot from close range from the back point, and Menion flew to save. Then Cucurella hit again, but was saved by the brave.

The change of sides and the fight against Allegri immediately substituted him. Modric replaced Richie, and the 39-year-old Magic Diary made his Milan career debut. In the 54th minute, Enzo shot hard outside the penalty area and headed straight to the lower left corner of the goal, but Menion returned with a wonderful save.

In the 67th minute, Chelsea secured the victory: Gusto made a cross from the right, Estewan was knocked down to grab the point in front of the goal, and the referee awarded a penalty kick. Then Drapp scored with a blast and the score was rewritten to 3-0!

In the 71st minute, Modric moved to the left, Salmacols cut inward and suddenly made a straight pass, Forfana inserted and shot low, Sanchez failed to react, the ball entered the net from the lower left corner, AC Milan won a goal, 1-3!

However, the advantage was still under Chelsea's feet. In the 74th minute, Estewan, who was only 18 years old, cut inside from the right and shot straight into the lower right corner of the goal. Menion once again saved. In the 90th minute, Santos hit the front of the penalty area, and Drapp decisively shot and scored twice and scored with a good show of scoring twice.

In the end, Chelsea defeated AC Milan, which had 10 players 4-1, and won two consecutive victories in the preseason warm-up match. They will usher in the first round of the Premier League a week later, playing at home against their city rival Crystal Palace.
