With the Sierra Mist All-Star Game just days away, Chelsea finished its training in California on Tuesday, August 1 with a practice session on the campus of UCLA. L.A. Galaxy President and General Manager Alexi Lalas and head coach Frank Yallop were there to observe the training, and afterwards met with legendary Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho.
Yallop presented the Chelsea coach with his very own Galaxy jersey, and Mourinho gave Yallop a blue Chelsea uniform top before posing for pictures and speaking with the numerous media members there to watch the training.
"It is an honor to meet a coach like Jose Mourinho," Yallop said. "What more can you say, he is a legend and it was a great experience to be able to be out here and watch Chelsea train and then have a word with Jose."
With the MLS All-Stars set to take on Chelsea on Saturday in Chicago, Yallop has given the Galaxy some time off, with the team set to reconvene on Sunday to begin preparations for a grueling return to action that has L.A. on the road in Houston on August 9 and in Colorado on August 12.
