Chelsea 1 - 4 Celtic (Jul-27-2024) Club Friendlies Highlights

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said his players were still trying to adjust to his playing style after losing 4-1 to Celtic in a pre-season friendly in Indiana on Saturday.

Christopher Nkunku's 89th-minute penalty was the only consolation for the Premier League side, while goals from Matt O'Riley, Kyogo, Luis Palmer - following a Benoit Badiashile mistake - and Mickey Johnston provided Brendan Rodgers with a much happier afternoon.

"Off the ball we need to improve things," Maresca said, after also having to defend his "risky style" following a 2-2 draw with Wrexham last Thursday - his first game in charge.

"You can see sometimes we confuse when we need to play short and when we need to play a little bit longer but that is part of the process.
