Chapter 283 The New Season Is Here! The European Super Cup Starts!
For Chelsea fans, they can't wait for the arrival of the new season!
However, before the arrival of the new season of 2017-2018, Chelsea first played a few friendly matches to examine the status of the players. The purpose of these friendly matches was mainly for training, so naturally Su Luo did not appear.
the reason is simple.
Su Luo will definitely be the main player in the Chelsea lineup in the new season.
After all, last season's Champions League final was won by Su Luo alone with Chelsea!
So in Conte's mind, Su Luo has become one of the main players in the new season.
