With only a week of training and new faces I think we have played well. Once Morata and Dybala, mandzu as well start playing together these counters are going to be so good to watch.
Because we played a CL final little more then a month ago and has had late pre-season due to it, its better to start off with real opposition if you starting late. Plus if you are touring like we are, better money to face better opposition.
I don't get why they intend to put those stripes on the shoulder.... They do it on everything.... And than they start with the normal stripes on the arm again...plus the back locks meh
I think it's coz of the late start to preseason but I agree the higher profile friendlies should come towards the end of the preseason schedule to set us up nicely.
