Chelsea FC (The Blues) | Special Thread

Sarri: "In England, it's very difficult to arrive at the top bcos this one was the first week without 3 matches since August. So, for the first time in the last 4 months, we had time to try to improve. It's not easy in this situation to improve a lot in such little training time"

Emery on #ARSCHE: “Chelsea make a lot of chances but we're also having chances and scoring a lot of goals. If you were to ask me, I would predict that maybe this will be a match with goals. But I want to score and for us not to concede. We're going to work to find this balance"
 
Emery: "Hazard has been the difference in a lot of matches for Chelsea. But we need to concentrate on all of their players. They also have Willian and Pedro both competitive players. It will be competitive all over the pitch. But we cannot allow them to play with their identity"
 
Emery: "After the West Ham defeat, it is a big gap to be six points behind Chelsea instead of three points behind. But if we win this match, we have the opportunity to be closer to them. This is a big opportunity. We have to give it everything we can."
 
Sarri on Jorginho's form: "He played with me for 4 seasons. It's very difficult for him to improve more. He played very well for 20 matches, I think. He's the player in the PL who has touched more balls than anyone else. Now, in the last two matches he was a little bit tired."
 
Sarri: "He moved the ball a bit slower than before. You can't stay at the top for 60 matches, so it's normal to have a different period, a period when you are not so lucid as usual. But it's not a big problem. Of course, it's the reason I said we needed a replacement for Cesc."
 
Sarri: "At the moment, the points are really very similar. In the last part of last season, Chelsea didn't do very well. So we've the possibility to improve on that. But I think it's very important to improve from the starting condition of this year. Not in the last year."
 
Sarri: "I wasn't involved last season, but I'm now. I know where we started. And I know very well where I want to go. And I know very well that we need to improve. A lot from the tactical point of view, mentally. We had problems with reactions to difficulties in the beginning"
 
Sarri: "For the 3rd time, we reacted very well to a difficulty after Watford, Tottenham and Newcastle goals. Now we've to show we can react from a positive situation. In last matches, when we scored, we lowered the application & attention. So now we've to work just to avoid this"
