Chelsea player picks Wrexham midfielder and not one Chelsea man in his all time Xl | OneFootball

A current Chelsea player has picked a Wrexham midfielder and not one Chelsea player in his all time Xl this week!

Chelsea beat Benfica in the first set of knockout rounds in the Club World Cup on Saturday night, but it was far from easy and also, very far from drama!

Sources: Chelsea still looking to sign West Ham star despite agreeing deal to bring Joao Pedro in!

Enzo Maresca labelled it a joke that the game got suspended for two hours due to sever weather conditions and slammed the tournament location as a result, and he really does have a point here.

And then came a flurry of late goal with Benfica equalising deep into stoppage time through a penalty to send it into extra time. Chelsea then bagged a bunch of goals to go on and win the game before it got to penalties!

Players often do these

You’ll often see pro players being asked to name their best ever Xl’s, and some of them will go ahead and take it deadly seriously, others perhaps may not do that as much.

I feel that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. who’s best ever Xl you can see in full further below, was not quite taking this one seriously. Or maybe he was? Maybe he just truly rates the players he’s got in his team more than some of the actual world class players to have played the game. He’s also not got any Chelsea players former or present in his team (and no, I’m not counting Kevin De Bruyne because he made himself at Man City).

Dewsbury-Hall’s best Xl

So, as posted on X this week, this is Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s all-time favourite XI:

GK: Iker Casillas

LB: Kal Naismith CB: Rio Ferdinand CB: Virgil van Dijk RB: Ricardo Pereira

CM: Paul Scholes CM: Kevin De Bruyne CM: Elliot Lee

RW: Lionel Messi LW: Wayne Rooney ST: Jamie Vardy

I’m going with he’s definitely not taken this seriously!
