Chelsea’s Community Shield preparations in danger

13 July 2018 at 08:16

It isn’t the most unexpected news in the world of football, but the timing could have been a lot better. Chelsea Football Club sacked their manager Antonio Conte roughly three and a half weeks before the Community Shield. The club hasn’t officially announced it yet, but players like Cesc Fabrages already came out on Twitter to thank their manager.

The big question in this matter is why they waited so long to sack him. Everybody around the Premier League knew they wanted to get rid of him at the end of last season. Chelsea didn’t do anything at that time and Antonio Conte even started the pre-season training with his team. Now, 24 days before the Blues play the Community Shield match against Manchester City, he is sacked.

New Chelsea manager

Since the team already started pre-season, the club is in a rush to sign a new manager. It will be a matter of time before Conte’s fellow countryman Maurizio Sarri will be announced as the new Chelsea manager. The former Napoli manager is a free agent since he decided to leave Napoli at the end of last season. The big question will be if Sarri has enough time to prepare his team for the Community Shield. The first thing he will do is to analyse the squad he has and tell the board which players he thinks he needs to improve the team. After this, he will go and prepare his team in this short amount of time for his first chance to win a trophy with Chelsea. He needs to do that without Thibaut Courtois, N’Golo Kante, Oliver Giroud, Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard, Michy Batshuayi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek who are all still active in Russia for the World Cup.

    Superb! Easy to purchase a ticket. I had a live customer service chat once, the staff member was so polite, helpful and informative. I loved the communication after purchase. On the match day they contacted me on WhatsApp if I want an upgrade on my tickets for free and after my confirmation I got my tickets within a minute. Great experience, thank you.

    This is the best and most trusted website to get your tickets to any world event. I have used them 3 times throughout the years, I have used other sites for football matches and they are so transparent and fast, the first time I used them was in 2018 for a Roma match and then made the mistake to use a different site for the PSG match in April and they were terrible, from the website, customer service and responses. this is the only site I trust and use!

    Bought 2 Club Wembley tickets less than 48 hours before the Championship Play Off Final. Good communication and tickets arrived the following day by email. No problems getting into the stadium and seats were great. Unfortunately my team’s performance was the only let down. Would definitely use this company again.

    It was easier than I thought to find a group of seven seats together and very simple to book. Communication was excellent, the tickets were sent quickly and were easy to access, so no problems at the stadium. Seats were good and we had a great view. Everything worked well and I'll definitely be back for tickets again - many thanks!
