NY Red Bulls vs Chelsea FC: 5 Things Learned from Pre Season Friendly
4. Azpilicueta, the shining light in a grim Chelsea defense
While the likes of Costa, Fabregas and Hazard have been hogging all the spot light, Cesar Azpilicueta has been setting standards and is unshakable from his position as a left back.
He was the only player in the whole of the Chelsea defense who put on a valiant display both in attack and in defense. He closed down many of the attacks down his flank while helping out his teammates with attacking and last ditch tackles.
He is by far one of the most consistent players in the team. It is clear from such examples as to why such an able defender like Felipe Luis is heading back to Atletico Madrid after a year on the benches.
It takes a special talent to dethrone Ashley Cole and keep Felipe Luis on the bench. Dave is turning out to be one of the best buys for Chelsea.
