Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has welcomed two of his stars to his squad in LA.
Conte's squad has been swelled with more players in LA, notably the returning Belgian internationals Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois.
"I am pleased Eden and Thibaut started to work with us. I am seeing the right attitude for them, and from all the players," he explained. "This is the most important thing for me. Normally after a period of rest the body needs to relax, and now the players are starting to work very well, finding the right shape for the season.
"It is important to work so I can transfer my idea of football and to work on the tactical and physical aspects, the mentality and video analysis.
"Also it's important to play these friendly games. Liverpool is a good team, Real Madrid a good team, Milan a good team. I am pleased because despite my players being a bit tired we must fight the same. I want to see this, this improvement despite being a bit tired after training. I know they are a bit tired but it's normal."
