Friendly round-up - Weds 4th Aug

A review of Wednesday's pre-season friendly action involving Barclays Premier League sides.
Frank Lampard's goal could not prevent an almost full-strength Chelsea from slipping to a 2-1 pre-season friendly defeat away to Hamburg.
The England midfielder put the Blues ahead in the 24th minute, tapping Michael Essien's unselfish square pass into an empty net, but Mladen Petric capitalised on a mistake by Yury Zhirkov, on at left-back for Ashley Cole, to beat Ross Turnbull with 18 minutes to go.
Worse was to come for the Barclays Premier League champions as Heung Min Son won it for Hamburg with three minutes to go, inflicting Chelsea's third successive loss of the summer following defeats to Ajax and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Carlo Ancelotti named a strong side for the match in Germany, with John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, John Obi Mikel, Nicolas Anelka, Salomon Kalou and Florent Malouda all also featuring from the start, while Didier Drogba played the second half, his first pre-season outing following hernia surgery.
WENT DOWN
Manchester City went down 3-1 to Borussia Dortmund in their latest pre-season friendly at the Westfalenstadion.
Paraguay striker Lucas Barrios put Dortmund ahead with a ninth-minute penalty only for Jo, who spent time on loan at Everton and Galatasaray last season, to level two minutes later.
Joe Hart ensured City went into half-time on level terms by diving to his right to keep out a casual Barrios penalty.
But the Germans restored their lead five minutes after the break through Shinji Kagawa and Robert Lewandowski then wrapped up the win in the 81st minute.

Ferreira wants first team role

Chelsea's Paulo Ferreira is looking forward to getting more matches under his belt ahead of the new season.
The Blues launch the defence of their Barclays Premier League title on 14th August but first face arch rivals Manchester United in the Community Shield on Sunday.
Ferreira has been on extended leave following his involvement in the World Cup finals for Portugal and Wednesday's friendly against Hamburg represents only his second outing of pre-season.
And despite the first competitive match of the season on the horizon, Ferreira says he would rather be on the pitch in an attempt to regain full fitness.
"It is important that we get to play against Hamburg, we want to start the season well," Ferreira explained to the club's official website. "And after this game we still have a few days to work really well for Manchester United on Sunday.
"It is another important game and we want to be in good shape. The group is like it always is, everybody is happy and we are doing a good pre-season so far.
"I am feeling much better, us players who came from the World Cup started after the others but we have worked hard to catch up and after one week of work you begin to feel much better."
The 31-year-old's involvement in the World Cup means time off has been scarce for the right-back, who helped the Blues to the Barclays Premier League title last season.

Benayoun wishes Reds well

Yossi Benayoun has wished his former Liverpool team-mates well under Roy Hodgson.
Benayoun swapped Anfield for Stamford Bridge in a £6m move earlier this summer.
"I had a great time there and it was a privilege to play at such a big club," he said.
"Everyone knows all the problems at the club but hopefully they have started anew with the new manager and I hope things change.
"I wish them all the best."
For his own part, Benayoun is working his way back to sharpness after a brief injury hiccup in training.
"I trained with the (Chelsea) first team for the first few days then I injured my groin and rested for a week," he added. "I came back only a few days ago and I'm sure I'll be fit in a few days.
"I'm enjoying every day and getting closer to everyone. Hopefully I'll be here a long time and be successful.
"I can only say I will work hard as I did at Liverpool and do my best to prove I deserve to be here."
