Chelsea defender Levi Colwill shared a funny moment with Inter Milan’s Francesco Acerbi yesterday.
Chelsea and Inter Milan drew 1-1, with Levi Colwill and Francesco Acerbi both starting for their respective sides.
In the first half, Colwill and the rest of Chelsea’s defence really struggled to deal with Marcus Thuram, who gave Inter the lead with a powerful strike.
His goal was cancelled out at the very end of the game, though, after Lesley Ugochukwu came on to equalise for the Blues. Chelsea fans are hoping Ugochukwu gets a good loan move before the transfer window closes.
Levi Colwill and Francesco Acerbi’s moment
Chelsea’s game with Inter was only a friendly, but it looks like Colwill and Acerbi did not get the memo at first.
The two were seen tussling with each other during one stage of the match before eventually making peace with a hug.
It was a scene caught by journalist Bobby Vincent, who was at the game, a game Chelsea probably had enough chances to win.
Chelsea’s finishing will have to be much better against Manchester City on Sunday if they are to take anything away from that match.
As for Chelsea’s young English defender, Enzo Maresca is pleased with Colwill so far.
Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana likely to start against Man City
Maresca is not short of centre-back options at the minute. On top of Colwill, he also has Wesley Fofana, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi.
Now fit again, Fofana was the man to partner Colwill in Chelsea’s draw with Inter. The Serie A champions are obviously a top outfit and Maresca put out a good team overall.
Therefore, you can easily see Colwill and Fofana being the two centre-backs who start against City this weekend.
Erling Haaland has already punished Chelsea during pre-season, scoring a hat-trick against them, so Colwill and Fofana are going to have to be at their best when City travel down to Stamford Bridge.
