Not everyone likes traveling and visiting places like some folks who can do all it takes to visit a country or their choice. Some by virtual of their of their work, family business, marriage and family back ground had the opportunity to go places even across continents. In fact, some have spent their life virtually traveling across the globe but there others who may not have crossed the country boundaries for reasons we know of or probably the nature of their work. Some are even contented in what they got that they forgot else where exist.

Well, am not proud to say am a local champ when it comes visiting places outside the country walls may be still young to take such long journey due to financial implications.

Some profession demand that you keep traveling from countries to countries or city to city until the end of your career. Such is ordeal of football players.

At the end of end of every league season across Europe, teams take their time out to camp in different part of the world to breathe new air, get closer to their fans as well boost their endorsement opportunities and play friendly games with teams as dim fit. The friendly matches provide a big platform for coaches as well as new players to try their hand and get familiarised on different formation and tactics.

This year’s pre season camping is taking place at the far eastern Asian country of the ‘’Land of the Rising Sun’’ Japan. Chelsea Fc has witnessed big endorsements from country’s big companies for some years now. In fact, Asia camping has being much of Chelsea annual rituals.
