Chelsea
In contrast, it wasn’t a happy two weeks for Chelsea representatives on the international stage as a whole, with Nemanja Matic picking up a red card in Serbia’s loss to Portugal, while Branislav Ivanovic suffered a hamstring injury.
Eden Hazard scored a penalty and missed one for Belgium in their double-header, while Cesc Fabregas extended his woes from the penalty spot with a fourth consecutive miss.
However, there were happier times for Willian who made it six goals in as many outings for Brazil as he scored twice in their 3-1 win over Venezuela.

However, the German tactician’s focus will now be on selecting the right team for his first game in charge of the Premier League outfit.
