It is natural that Maurizio Sarri is currently facing many questions about whether his playing style can succeed on the board in the Premier League competition. This was raised when Chelsea were slaughtered 0-6 by the host City at the Etihad Stadium. Defeat with an unprecedented amount.
Defending champions Manchester City were in an outstanding performance with a four-goal lead at halftime and following their second goal in the second half. According to Premierlegaue.com records, Sergio Aguero was recorded as completing his 11th hat-trick during his time in the Premier League competition to match what Alan Shearer had done.
Let’s hear what Maurizio Sarri comments on this defeat. When he was asked what these results were and what recently made him doubt about the style of football he applied at Chelsea? Released by the club’s official website, Sarri replied: “No, because today I didn’t see my football. No, because at first it worked so now we just need to understand the reason why it’s not working. It’s not easy.”
“Something has changed. At the moment I can’t see the reason but I have to work for this, because my target is to play football. Not to change to other football. But in this fight we are playing other football.” reported by their club site.
It’s okay to say that Chelsea are playing in another way of football. That night the Blues Chelsea’s performance was very far from expectations. No wonder if Sarri said they were playing other football, not his own football.
Maurizio Sarri revealed that during this week Chelsea really had a very good atmosphere. The day before the game during the meeting together the squad went well in a spirit of conducive training. So the Italian coach can conclude that in this match motivation is at the right level.
That night we can see that Chelsea started the game well where Eden Hazard led the team with high determination. Higuain also seemed eager to make opportunities, one hard kick was able to be pushed over City goalkeeper, Ederson.
Then the classic problem is concentration that is less focused on the back line. This is what makes Chelsea have conceded so quickly only four minutes of the game running. Raheem Sterling’s hard kick broke into Kepa Arrizabalaga’s goal.
Sarri said that Chelsea conceded in a stupid way. Since the goal the Chelsea squad was unable to rearrange the atmosphere of the team that had begun to lose touch. They made a lot of mistakes against a team at the level of Manchester City who played fantastic football.
Sarri should be a little patient and re-arrange which is scattered after returning from the Etihad, Manchester City.
