Training Tuesday 27/11
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 12:29 pm
A low key day today for the one full training session in between 2 premier league games.Mancini's birthday but no signs of celebrations outside when he took the group for the initial briefing.It lasted longer than usual and my guess would be some positive emphasis on the importance of a win tomorrow and how he plans to go about it.
Sam Erith, the fitness coach, put them through a few routines to get the bodies moving and for the Chelsea team it was effectively just a warm down.Some of that team weren't even out at all but they went off to do a little extra work with Ivan before going inside leaving the rest to have a 7 a side game.
To make the numbers up Mancini joined in with one side and his son plus Marin were added.There are always goals in a 7 a side game and today's MotM was Mario. I think he scored 4 in what was a fairly one sided game with others coming from Nasri (2), Maicon and young Mancini. At the other end Garcia scored a nice one and Roberto got on the scoresheet where it looked like he gave the keeper the eyes as he stroked it left footed the other way.The best goal was one of Nasri's where he dummied the keeper then put his foot under the ball to lob it over him.
I see Platt did the press briefing so that's a bit of a present for Mancini but 3 points at Wigan is what he will really want.
