NY Red Bulls vs Chelsea FC: 5 Things Learned from Pre Season Friendly
5. Asamir Begovic will see better days
When you concede 4 goals in 45 minutes and that too at your debut, you have sympathize with any goalkeeper and in this case it is Begovic.
Brought from Stoke City to replace a legend, he has been unfortunately been on the receiving end in the pre season friendly where he conceded 4 goals from amateur Bulls attack and that could take a massive hit on his morale.
But, to soften the blow, all the goals weren’t his personal fault as because the defensive shield in front of him failed in a huge manner to give sufficient protection.
But, Begovic was caught out of position on some occasions which won’t impress Mourinho, but the good thing is, Chelsea won’t be the same when the season starts.
The defense will be consolidated and he will be protected more. Also Begovic himself is a great shot stopper and he will work towards evolving his capabilities if he has to survive at a difficult and cut throat environment at Stamford Bridge.
Cheer up brother Begovic!
