Thomas Tucehl has revealed in a clip filmed by Chelsea TV that his team will not just be playing against Udinese once, but will actually use two teams to play two games against the Italian side on consecutive days in Udine.
It’s our last game – or games in fact – before the season starts next weekend.
The revelation is made by Thomas Tuchel in this video, right at the very starts when the boss addresses the squad:
It’s a logical thing to do. We can’t quite understand why the team are going to Italy for these games at all when it would be easy to find a team willing to come to us, but that’s a mystery for another day.
One of these games looks likely to be behind closed doors, with the other broadcast and presumably with more of a “first team” look.
Players who come on as subs in the first game, may then start the second, and vice versa.
