WHAT A GAME. We dominated early on and scored a goal, only to concede two to be 2-1 down at half time, before turning it around in a blood-pumping second half to finish with a 4-2 victory. Wow the Premier League is well and truly back and I am so pleased. The Olympic Games were exceptional in their own right, a master showcase of hard work reaping rewards as well as true sportsmanship, character and humility, which has been praised and appreciated around the world. And let that be infused with the raw speed and action that the football season brings. Because for that's sport at its finest.
Tonight's game really brought everything great about the English game. The atmosphere generated and the gutsy spirit on show are quite special. Chelsea displayed plenty of grit and determination last year to be crowned European Champions, but we've done it again today with some cool heads, superb tactics and wonderful football. I'm pleased for Di Matteo who got it spot on to fix the deficit, at one point playing all of Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Sturridge and Torres on the same pitch. There's absolutely no doubt there is quality there and the potentially free-flowing interplay between them could be lethal. Eden Hazard, who impressed in our opening game against Wigan, has the most sublime first touch every time he receives the ball, just beautiful to see. And the build-up for that third goal by Torres was quite scintillating. The belief must really be abundant throughout the squad now.
But yes. This is the kind of game we've been longing for all summer. This is the kind of game you love to win as a supporter. And it's just a fucking joy to watch.
