Fans can't believe what Chelsea coach was looking at on his phone during Servette game as footage emerges online

A video has appeared online of a Chelsea coach using his phone during the match with Servette, and fans can't believe what he was looking at.

Chelsea got their 2024/25 European campaign underway on Thursday, beating Swiss club Servette 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa Conference league qualifier.

The result come amid drama regarding the squad for the match, with notable names like Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell all absent from the team sheet.

And now, a video has emerged on social media of a member of the coaching staff using their phone in the middle of the match, and fans cannot believe what he was doing.

The video, posted on the Chelsea subreddit, appears to show a member of the coaching staff using popular AI platform chatGPT during the game.

Reacting to the video, one fan wrote: "Lmao this is so genuinely funny. I know ai based intelligence is kinda been Chelsea's thing recently with infinite athlete, and in general it is quite handy, but wtf lmao haha."

Another one joked: "This explains your transfer strategy lmao."

While one fan looked more closely at the video, pointed out that the names of some of Chelsea's players were present in the reply the AI gave to whatever prompt given to it by the coach.

They wrote: "I can definitely make out some names like Jorgensen, Dasasi, Tosin, Caicedo, and Mudryk, but that’s his input so I really wonder what they were asking lol."

The original poster who took the video later confirmed that they believe that the text visible on the phone screen detailed how long various members of Chelsea's squad had been at the club, followed by the lineup for the match against Servette.

This led fans to conclude that the coach was likely looking up how long each member of the matchday squad had been at Chelsea.

The drama surrounding the match with Servette continued after the game, when Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca offered a brutal assessment of Ukranian winger Mykhailo Mudryk.

Speaking in the post-match press conference, Maresca said: "This is Mudryk, not only in terms of tonight but also in terms of since he joined the club.

"He had some good moments and then some moments like flipping a coin. You don't know if it's one thing or the other thing."
