Schwarzer enjoying pre-season with Chelsea

Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has revealed that he is enjoying the club's pre-season tour of Asia.

The 40-year-old Australian recently joined the Blues on a free transfer after being released by Fulham.

"It's been great, I've really enjoyed it," Schwarzer told the club's official website. "It's been a great experience so far and I think I've fitted in really well. The boys have been very accommodating and I'm happy to hit the ground running.

"Some of the training methods are completely new and different to things I've seen before, it takes a bit of time to adjust but whatever exercise you can get, the bottom line is you have to keep the ball out of the back of the net.

"It's important to enjoy yourself at training. It's a very long season if you don't."

Chelsea play the final match of their tour on Thursday against the Indonesia All-Stars in Jakarta.
