In a behind-closed-doors friendly on Sunday, Chelsea defeated Weymouth 13-0.

 

On Sunday, Chelsea defeated semi-professional side Weymouth 13-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly match at Cobham Training Centre.



On Saturday, Thomas Tuchel confirmed that the friendly was organized to help players who had not been involved in many pre-season games regain match fitness. “This [the friendly match] is not like training,” the German told Chelsea TV. “It will be a normal week for some, like Marcos Alonso, to prepare for the match on Sunday, while it will be very intense for others.”

Chelsea did not make any team announcements ahead of the game because it is not officially part of the pre-season. Fortunately, Weymouth's social media team kept us updated on the game.


It's 1-0 after 4 minutes. Chelsea's Rose loses the ball in the middle of the pitch, and Chelsea slots home from 12 yards out past Fitzsimons.

 The 36-year-old will be a free agent when his £25 million-a-year contract expires next summer, and he has been linked with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester City; Max Allegri: "He has never wanted to leave, he told me that he's staying." Despite reports linking Cristiano Ronaldo to a move away, Juventus manager Max Allegri has stated that the Portuguese superstar will remain at the club this season. The 36-year-million-euro-per-year old's contract expires next summer, and Juventus risk losing him for nothing in 2022 unless he is sold this summer or a new contract is offered to him. The Portugal international was also said to be unhappy with Juventus' season last season, in which they finished fourth in the table after ending a nine-year winning streak in Serie A.

 Naomi Osaka, the tennis star, briefly left the room in tears after being asked a question by a reporter during her first press conference since opening up about her mental health struggles nearly three months ago. During a Zoom press conference, Osaka, 23, who is competing in the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati this week, answered a question from a Cincinnati Enquirer journalist about how she deals with the media when she is upset. "You're not thrilled with dealing with us, especially in this format, but you have a lot of outside interests that would benefit from having a media platform. My question is, how do you strike a balance between the two?" Paul Daugherty, a veteran sports columnist, inquired. "What do you mean when you say I'm not crazy about dealing with you guys?" she inquired of Daugherty. After a long pause, the moderator asked Osaka if she wanted to move on to the next question, but she declined and asked Daugherty to repeat the ques...

Bordeaux striker Samuel Kalu collapsed on the field during a Ligue 1 match in Marseille on Sunday, where temperatures reached a scorching 30 degrees. In the early stages of the match, the 23-year-old Nigerian international fainted and slumped to the Stade Velodrome surface. Concerned teammates gathered around the injured Kalu, frantically waving their hands to the bench to summon medical assistance. Despite his recovery, Kalu did not complete the match after briefly returning. In the 14th minute, he was replaced by Rémi Oudin due to an abundance of caution. The immediate cause of his collapse was unknown, but the game was being played in scorching heat in Marseille. The incident occurred just two months after Denmark's Christian Eriksen collapsed during a Euro 2020 match. “Kalu's incident gave us goosebumps.
