Graham Potter has passed his first big test as the Chelsea manager but Milan, one of the grandest names in football, simply didn’t turn up.
If a home debut may be considered the first true test of a new manager, Graham Potter’s ended in a resounding pass.
But this was a home match, his home debut, and Stamford Bridge, where the crowd is about as close to the pitch as it’s possible to be, was crackling with nervous energy beforehand, a skittishness fed by banks of Milan supporters tucked away in one corner of the ground, almost entirely dressed in black, making an awful lot of noise.
It certainly helps to calm the nerves, to be playing opponents as gracious as Milan’s defence were.
