Malaysia XI V Chelsea LIVE from Kuala Lumpur
By Since66
July 29 2008
It was announced by Inter Milan on Monday afternoon after they had signed Sully Muntari from Portsmouth for £12.75m, that Inter has no intention of signing any more players at this time. Therefore that means our 'Super Frank' will be staying at Chelsea for the 2008/09 season at least.
The way Frank has been playing in the two friendlies suggests to me that he wants to stay and he has played like a man who has just joined the club, rather than a man who wants to leave the club!! It is the last game of Chelsea's Asian tour this afternoon as The Blues take on a Malaysian Select XI in the Shah Alam Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. The kick off is 13.45pm UK time and there will be LIVE coverage on the message board from 1.15pm. What can we expect from this game? Much of the same I hope. Two games already played, eleven goals scored and none conceded. Chengdu Blades were supposed to be a stronger test than Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals and look what happened there!! Yesterday the squad had a double training session. The first was in the grounds of their plush hotel, much to the excitement of fellow guests and the second session was held at the Shah Alam Stadium itself. The session at the stadium was open to the public and it is estimated that 2,000 people turned up to watch The Blues being put through their paces by 'Big Phil' and Steve Clarke. Once the session was over it was open house as the locals clambered for autographs from the players. Earlier in the day at the team's hotel Chelsea did their PR relations with the Malaysian public no harm at all as they held an autograph and picture session lasting well over an hour. After the match, Chelsea depart for Russia and to Moscow (back to the city of last May's Euro disappointment to compete in the Russian Railways Cup. The first game in the mini-tournament is against the 'hosts' Lokomotiv Moscow on Friday 1st August. There will be LIVE coverage on the board from 3.15pm, the game itself kicks-off at 3.45pm (UK time).

Anelka looks to have the bit between his teeth more but he´s not suited to holding the ball up and turning Drogba style.
Mikel looked good and Deco.....excellent!
SWP frustrated a bit, Joe Cole played well but lacks fitness and Sheva and Di Santo didn´t have much opportunity to shine (although Di Santo looked confident when he got the ball).
It is quite clear that we are nowhere near full fitness yet - those that played the full 90 were really struggling to keep going.
So far so good though - and now stiffer oppostion to face!
