Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has been a man under immense pressure. The Italian has seen wins hard to come by this season with a string of loses all but jeopardizing Chelsea’s chances of a Top Four Finish.
Despite his troubles, Chelsea’s Captain Cesar Azpilicu was quick to leap to the defence of manager Sarri.
“It is true we have changed a lot, changed the system, the way of playing, we have been working really hard in the way the manager wants us to play,” added Azpilicueta.
“At the beginning the results were good, and maybe we were not playing the way that we were supposed to play but we still won the game.
“But at the moment we are getting punished for every mistake we make; we are not clinical, we are conceding a lot.
“At the moment everything is turning against us but we know we have to improve, raise our level.”
