Hello friends

let me start off with saying that i know that i can not consider myself a fan in the true sense of the word like most of you guys who have been around since forever and go to every game and grew up in and around London. 

That said i've started to become impressed with chelsea since 2004 (when i was 10 years old) especially the games against Barcelona. The era before Mourinho i explore using youtube as to get to know the history of the club, and i often watch back games (especially when we lose during the weekend) from the past. If anyone of you has some footage from games with the original english commentary or knows where i can find some outside of youtube i would really appreciate it if they could let me know  Diego Costa is my favorite player at the moment. I love his passion and his drive. My favorite player of all time has to be Andrea Pirlo and i secretly hope that conte will try Fabregas in a similar role if he would switch to 3-5-2 and play him the way Pirlo played for his Juve years. 

My philosophy on football is a mix between Marcelo Bielsa and Diego Simeone. I love teams that show a lot of spirit and hard work and aggression in defensive situations and technical skills and beauty in attacking situations. Thats why i was very happy with the appointment of Antonio Conte as i was really impressed with Italy during the European Championship and especially with his passion. 

the way they defend in this match is incredible 

I would love to see chelsea play in a similar way under Conte. Whatever happens i will support Chelsea and Conte
