Wednesday afternoon found us at cloudy Cobham with our last practice before the UEFA Conference League season began

Football — 08/22/2024

After an unusually long absence in 2023–24, European football is once again a top priority. In the play-off round, we will face Servette in a best-of-three match for our first appearance in the Conference League.

Despite losing 2-1 on aggregate against Braga in the Europa League’s third qualifying round, the Swiss team gave the Portuguese team a run for their money. We must not underestimate the Swiss Cup winners, as Enzo Maresca is well aware.If anyone knows what they’re doing, it’s Renato Veiga. After losing twice to Servette in league play last season, the 21-year-old signed for Servette. Basel is a Swiss club.

The multi-talented Portuguese player is currently aiming for a starting role after making his Chelsea debut off the bench versus City.While Veiga can play in the middle of the field, he came on as a left back. Maresca praised Romeo Lavia, a man who consistently works at the park’s center, during his pre-training media conference.

throughout his first game back for Chelsea, a whole match against Manchester City, the Belgian looked sharp after being a mainstay throughout preseason.Maresca lamented that Romeo was unable to play last season due to injury, but that he has gotten off to a strong start this year and can be an asset both on and off the ball.

After Sunday’s game, Lavia expressed his pleasure at being back on the field, saying, “pre-season helped me to get here today and I’m just grateful to be back with the team.”

Today, it was obvious!Cole Palmer has won yet another trophy this week, adding to his impressive collection. His hometown of Manchester hosted yesterday night’s celebration where he was presented with the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

“I had a fantastic season overall, and I’m hoping we can get off to a good start this year,” Palmer stated.

Aside from the individual accolades, my primary goal is to help Chelsea win championships.Without missing a beat, Palmer dove headfirst into training after returning from Manchester. Tomorrow could be his first game for the Blues in Europe, following in the footsteps of several colleagues.
