Maurizio Sarri explains the problems at Chelsea

01 feb 2019

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has said that it is difficult to change the club's ways and methods because it has won trophies with different managers by playing a brand of football that was very different to his.

The Blues slipped to 5th in the Premier League, following their 4-0 hammering at the hands of Bournemouth in mid-week, as their goal-difference reduced to less than what Arsenal's is.

Sarri was talking to the press ahead of the Blues' game against Huddersfield and he said: "English football is in the hands of these teams because they had a plan and they were patient," he said.

"In one the coach arrived five years ago, in another three years ago and in the other two years ago. I want to remember that in the first season [Jurgen] Klopp and Liverpool were in the middle of the table. I am a dreamer; I want to play my football."

"Here the level is very high and because this team played another football and they won with another football."
