Xabi Alonso believes Chelsea's ability to remain flexible and unpredictable will be crucial as his side continue to develop ahead of the new Premier League season.
The Blues produced an impressive display to beat AC Milan 3-0 in Jakarta, with Joao Pedro scoring twice and Moises Caicedo adding a superb volley.
Chelsea frequently changed their shape during the match, with players rotating positions and adapting their roles in possession and out of possession. Alonso believes that versatility can give his team an advantage during the campaign.
"We want to be versatile in our approach and system," Alonso said. "I think we have the players to adapt to different ones because they understand how to support each other."
"The principles are the same but the movements can change; we need to be unpredictable, we want to be flexible, and we want to have a threat.
