Chelsea v Perth Glory friendly, Marizio Sarri style, Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard transfer news
CHELSEA players have backed new manager Maurizio Sarri’s plan for a more fluid and attacking brand of football starting with Monday’s pre-season friendly against Perth Glory in Australia.
Sarri, who was appointed on a three-year deal following Antonio Conte’s sacking last week, said he didn’t know what to expect from his new side in their first outing under him.
“We started only four days ago. So I hope to do the best. But I don’t know how is our best at the moment,” Sarri told reporters in Perth on Friday.
Great Sarri quote “Ours is not a sport, but a game. Anybody who plays a game started doing it as a child for fun, and the child in us must be nurtured because this often makes us the best. So to create play that is fun is the first thing to obtain a style for a high-level squad.”

Sarri has vowed to bring flowing football to Chelsea, and that’s music to the ears of Spanish international midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
“It’s a way of football that I believe in, that I really like, that I grew up in this system,” Fabregas said.
“For the type of player like myself, we can take a lot of advantage.” Fabregas, who is in Australia along with David Luiz, Pedro and new signing Jorginho, made a plea for Belgian midfield star Eden Hazard to stay at Stamford Bridge.
“I think he’s our best player,” Fabregas said.
“We are a top club, we want to be a top team, we want to win things, and for that you need your best players. Eden is one of them.
