I think he is the guy most beloved in our team and today he showed me a lot of things.
Pep Guardiola's men reached the Wembley fixture following their record breaking Premier League-winning campaign, although they have had a tough time during pre-season with several big-name players missing.
Beating Guardiola's City and ending Chelsea's Community Shield draught that dates back to 2009 would be an ideal way of laying down an early marker.
That's an ominous sign for the other sides with title aspirations. It's going to take a hugely impressive campaign to finish above this City side this season.
Although the midfielder featured in City´s final game of last season, it was only to ensure he had played sufficient matches to claim a title medal.
While Guardiola was all smiles, Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri admitted the team's hectic pre-season schedule has left his players unable to adapt to his tactics. Hudson-Odoi's 35th-minute effort was their only strike on target in the match.
The youngster is supremely confident on the ball and fits City's high-intensity, high-pressing, expansive style perfectly.
There is a clear shift in Chelsea's approach, though.
Does not look anywhere near as comfortable as a left-back as he did under Conte as a wing back.

Iran on Wednesday said a new naval destroyer was in the testing phase ahead of a deployment to the Strait of Hormuz. They said the drills could begin within the next 48 hours, although the precise timing was unclear.

Meeting in Trump Tower Was to Get Information on Clinton
On Sunday, Trump also defended tariffs he has imposed on imports into the U.S. "I had bad information at that point". Now you say you didn't know in advance. "The president has been clear that he wants to interview", he said.
And fans couldn't understand how Callum Hudson-Odoi was replaced by Willian, instead of Pedro, on the hour mark.
FW Alvaro Morata, 6 - Barely affected the game largely due to the dearth of service he received from his teammates.
Time is a rare gift at Chelsea and Sarri will hope to hit the ground running in the league.
How and where to watch the Manchester City v/s Chelsea live treaming?
Former Napoli coach Sarri's arrival at Stamford Bridge, however, has given the midfielder a fresh chance to impress - and he was handed a starting role in Sunday's Community Shield defeat by Manchester City alongside new signing Jorginho and Cesc Fabregas.
The Manchester City v/s Chelsea Community Shield match will be played at the Wembley Stadium in London. The transition from the second to the third phase for City was easy on the eyes as they were able to move their opponents and then utilize the space in midfield to carry the ball.
Moving away from a three-man defence means players adapting to slightly different positions and a new shape, and some fine-tuning is required before they can really show what they could be capable of this season.
Claudio Bravo gets the nod in goal, Sergio Aguero a spot up front and Fernandinho will captain the side.
There were loud cheers from the Chelsea end when Jorginho's name was read out before kick-off - and plenty of jeers from the City end, too.
