Chelsea fans demand Puskas award for Pedro after incredible goal in pre-season friendly

CHELSEA fans want Pedro to win the Puskas award, FIFA’s goal of the season honour, after his incredible strike against Red Bull Salzburg.

The Blues saw off the Austrian side 3-5 in a pre-season friendly.
Christian Pulisic scored his first two goals for the club before Ross Barkley and Michy Batshuayi.
But the show was stolen by Pedro, who got Chelsea’s fourth goal after half time.
And footage has now emerged which shows he did it in style.

In the clip, the Blues are leading 3-1 against Red Bull.
Barkley is coming forward with the ball on the left wing.
Spotting Pedro’s run into the penalty box, the Englishman cuts the ball back.
But the Spaniard appears to have overshot his run – but the forward has a way around it.


Jumping off the ground, the 32-year-old flicks his left foot at the ball.
And Pedro manages to loop it out of goalkeeper Cican Stankovic’s reach into the top-right corner.
The Spaniard runs to the corner holding his hands up while the Blues fans celebrate.
This footage was shared on the club’s official YouTube channel earlier today, where it has been viewed more than 1.3 millions times.

And the Blues faithful wanted to see the forward’s effort honoured.
“And the Puskas award goes to… Pedro,” one supporter said.

Lampard on Kante position,Mason Mount influence, and winning his first Chelsea home game

Image
  Chelsea’s game against Leicester City on Sunday will be the third in a span of just eight days. While the performances have been encouraging, especially against Liverpool in the Super Cup, the final result is what really counts, and so Chelsea will be looking to open our points-scoring account with a win at home. Facing the Blues will be Leicester City, managed by former Chelsea youth and reserves coach Brendan Rodgers. Lampard is well aware of Rodgers’ credentials, as well as the Foxes’ impressive summer transfer window. A win will be tough to secure but that’s what the focus is on. “A win is obviously important as we want to win all our games and we want to win at home considering we lost the first league game. It’s a big game for us in front of our home fans for the first time this season.“I know Brendan well and he’s got a great group of players there, a nice mix of some top quality young players and experienced players.

Chelsea team confirmed at RB Salzburg: Tammy Abraham and Ross Barkley start with Mount benched

Image
Chelsea take on RB Salzburg tonight in their penultimate match of pre-season for Frank Lampard. The Blues have had a jam-packed summer and now only a match at the RB Salzburg and another against Borussia Monchengladbach stand before the Blues and the 2019/20 Premier League campaign. As expected, Lampard has rotated his players throughout the summer as he looks to give as many players a chance as possible and also trying to get the minutes in the legs for his players. However, at the Red Bull Arena it looks like Lampard has gone for his strongest team and could be the one to face Manchester United on August 11. Tammy Abraham starts up front, while Ross Barkley gets the nod over Mason Mount in the 4-2-3-1 formation, playing just behind the striker. Kepa Arrizabalaga starts in goal, with David Luiz and Kurt Zouma in front of him and Emerson on the left and Cesar Azpilicueta on the right. N'Golo Kante is not in the squad as he recovers from his knee injury, so J...

Lampard can ‘change the culture’ at Chelsea Says by Chelsea Legend Joe Cole

Image
  Joe Cole believes new Chelsea manager Frank Lampard can help to ‘change the culture’ at Stamford Bridge. The fan-favourite returned to Chelsea as the clubs manager earlier this summer, replacing Maurizio Sarri who left after just one season in charge to join Juventus. Lampard’s task has been made more difficult with the club currently serving a two-window transfer ban, with the 41-year-old tipped to look to the club’s brightest young talents as he bids to improve the squad. Despite the success of the club’s youth academy, Chelsea have traditionally struggled to blood their best prospects into the first-team, but Lampard’s former teammate Cole believes the Blues ’ boss now has an opportunity to ‘change the culture’ and stamp his authority on the club. “This is an opportunity to change the culture of the club, change how the club is perceived,” Cole told the Daily Mail . “The culture is fine in the sense we’re a successful team but there can be improvements...
