Alonso shows Chelsea squad his class in Australia pre-season
New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso scored a 25-yard half-volley at the end of a training session in Australia and regularly demonstrated his passing in sessions. Defender Levi Colwill said he was "jealous" of how well Alonso could "spray balls around." Midfielder Romeo Lavia called working with him a privilege. Alonso kept predecessor Enzo Maresca's 4-2-3-1 shape during tour matches.
