Defeated Half a dozen Goals from City, Sarri Still Insists On His Playing Style At Chelsea

DBasia.news –  Chelsea swallowed a bitter pill of defeat that will haunt them forever, namely in the 0-6 defeat to Manchester City at Etihad Stadium, on week 26 of the Premier League, Sunday (10/2) evening WIB.

Throughout the 90 minutes, the visitors really played without direction and even had to concede four goals in the first half through Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan and two goals from Sergio Aguero. While two additional goals were scored in the second half, again through the actions of Aguero and Sterling.

This is not the first time Chelsea lost with a margin score that is quite far, in the two previous matches, they were also humiliated by Bournemouth with a score of 4-0.

After the defeat, many parties asked Sarri to immediately change the playing style of the Blues while at the same time rotating. But it seems the hope to see the Stamford Bridge-based club make a change of strategy will not be seen in the near future, because Sarri remains adamant that he will still implement the same strategy and playing style.

“Will I change Chelsea’s playing style? No, because today I really didn’t see the players display the style of football that should be applied,” Sarri said as quoted by Goal.

“At the beginning of the season, everything went really well. Right now we just need to see what reasons made the philosophy of football and the strategies used to not run optimally,” added the former Napoli manager.

The failure to pick three points at Etihad has made Chelsea swallow six defeats, they also had to be willing to go down to sixth place in the standings.

Closing the conversation, Sarri reiterated that he still has a target to be able to make the players understand the philosophy of football that he applied.

“Something has changed and I still can’t see what’s really happening. We need to work hard to solve this problem. My main target is to get players to implement the strategies and philosophies that have been implemented, not replace, because as of now they are playing a different football philosophy, “he concluded.
