Men's First Team coach Luciano Spalletti spoke to the press after the match between Chelsea and Juventus, the fourth friendly of the 2026/27 pre-season. The game ended 1-0 to the Bianconeri and was decided by Edon Zhegrova's superb goal in the second half. I saw a very active team that was always close to the ball. Chelsea can do it all: they can build from the back, they can finish, and they can really drive the game forward in terms of tempo and pace. They're a top-class side and, for that very reason, it was important for us not to back down in the face of these situations."
