Big task ahead….See how new Chelsea owner reacted to disappointing Chelsea 2-2 draw against Wolves
Todd Boehly was sitting in the executive box at Stamford Bridge, just hours after agreeing to purchase Chelsea.
The part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers was overjoyed to see his team score two quick goals early in the second half.
Wolves would then equalize in the 79th minute, before Chelsea’s hearts were broken when Conor Coady equalized in the 97th minute.
Todd Boehly couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the late goal and had his head in his hands.
He walked out of the executive box distraught, knowing that there would be a lot of rebuilding to do starting this summer.
Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta expressed his unhappiness after the game that the new owners had not been handed a winning start.
Azpilicueta told Sky Sports: “The team has been completely out of the process. Our focus has been on the pitch. Of course we are disappointed not to give the first win for him. It is out of our hands so not worth wasting energy on that.
“Of course we have missed some fans in the stadium and there have been a couple of things but the work on the pitch cannot be excused. Our job is to train the best we can and get the results so that is why we’re disappointed.
“We need to do the basics better. In the last couple of games we have conceded so many goals. The two boxes are the key areas. We scored two then conceded two at home. That is hard. Sometimes you need a 1-0 win. We have not been as sharp or as fluid as we’ve been before but we scored to go 2-0 and that should have been enough.”
