Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has explained why he blew a kiss last night and some of the confrontations he was involved with.
Chelsea beat Los Angeles FC 2-0 in their Club World Cup opening group game last night in what was a very strange and subdued atmosphere in front of just 22,000 people in a huge stadium.
It was far from vintage Chelsea but in the end they just got the job done and three points on the board to set them up for a good starts.
The goals came from a lovely Nicolas Jackson assist to Pedro Neto to finish in the first half. And then new signing Liam Delap also provided a superb assist for Enzo Fernandez to run into the box and tap in to score.
Despite the win, defender Levi Colwill has admitted that his team were not perfect and they can do better after conceding too many chances last night.
But as he also explains, tournament football and in fact any game at all, is just always about winning. If you win the game, that is always essentially all that matters and Chelsea did the job last night.
It was more handbags than anything else, but winger Pedro Neto was involved in some confrontations during the game last night and he was also spotted blowing a kiss when he scored his goal.
Asked who he was blowing a kiss to after the game, Neto told DAZN: “No, it’s part of the game you know.
“I don’t want to speak about it because it’s part of the game. In the end we spoke both of us, we were getting to each other in the game. In the end we spoke and it’s okay.”
