After a brilliant season in England, Maurizio Sarri recently departed Chelsea FC as the lure of management in Juventus was perhaps too strong to resist.
Maurizio Sarri opened his press conference saying the following :
‘In recent years, I’ve had 4-3-3, but the 4-3-3 at Chelsea was very different to the one at Napoli. We had to accompany Eden Hazard’s characteristics, as he could change the game, but also his presence caused issues in defending that we had to work on,’.
It is quite astonishing that Sarri criticizes Hazard’s defensive tendencies as in the contrary, Hazard’s offensive prowess made Sarri’s entire season in Chelsea credible. The Belgian recorded his season best figures with 30+ goals plus assists.
He went on to add that none of the Chelsea players are of the quality of Cristiano Ronaldo, who will represent a step up in class.
‘At Chelsea I coached some very strong players, but training Cristiano will be yet another step forward,’ he added.
‘He had made many records. I’d like to help him break some new records.’
