Chelsea played another friendly at Stamford Bridge, defeating AC Milan 4-1 thanks to goals from João Pedro and Liam Delap. Malecas expressed his happiness with the goals scored by his new signings and said the team would enter the new season with confidence.

Chelsea captain Reece James took a free kick in the 5th minute, and AC Milan defender Andre Kubis accidentally kicked the ball into his own goal, giving Chelsea a 1-0 lead. In the 8th minute, Pedro Neto's lob passed to the front of the goal, and Joao Pedro took advantage of the momentum and shot in, helping Chelsea extend their lead to 2-0.

In the 18th minute, Joao Pedro was pulled down by Andre Kubis when he received the ball. The referee showed Andre Kubis a red card for this, and AC Milan only had 10 players left.

In the 67th minute of the second half, Estevão was brought down by an opposing player while attempting to receive a pass from Liam Delap, resulting in a penalty for Chelsea. Liam Delap converted the penalty, extending Chelsea's lead to 3-0. In the 70th minute, Salemax assisted Youssef Fofana to equalize for AC Milan, tying the game at 1-3.

In the 90th minute, Andre Santos passed the ball from the top of the penalty area, and Liam Delap shot into the goal. In the end, Chelsea defeated AC Milan 4-1 in this friendly match.

Chelsea manager Maresca said, "I think the team's performance was really good, especially before the red card. We started the game the way we wanted, maintaining high intensity and a fast pace both with and without the ball."

"The appearance of the red card has somewhat changed the course of the game, which is normal. After all, AC Milan started pre-season training 40 days ago, and this is their sixth friendly match. For us, we have only played our second friendly match, but overall I am very satisfied, and now we will start our Premier League journey."

In addition, Joao Pedro, who joined Chelsea in July, proved his strength by scoring a goal in the Club World Cup, while another new signing Liam Delap also performed very well.

Maresca said: "Joao Pedro and Liam Delap are both our strikers and we need them to score goals during the season and we are very happy with both of them."

"Liam Delap played in the Club World Cup in the United States and scored against AC Milan. They can play without any pressure or burden, so they will definitely score goals and they will definitely miss some chances. But in the end, they will help us."

Maresca added, "I'm very confident and very excited. We have a long season ahead of us and we will try to do our best."
