First the criticism of the press and the contestation of its own fans, yesterday a draw that complicates the qualification for the next Champions League seasoned by the insults of the bench attacking. There is no peace for Maurizio Sarri in London: his first season at the helm of Chelsea appears increasingly melancholy. Only the conquest of the Europa League will be able to redeem the year of the former Napoli coach who, after the home draw against Burnley, sees fourth place recede. Arsenal, with a game still to be recovered, can overtake Chelsea, which can also be reached from Manchester United. The draw against a team that is already (virtually) safe is yet another wasted opportunity for a team, Chelsea, in fact, which remains an unfinished project. So understandable the nervousness of Sarri, expelled Monday night following a squabble with the opposing bench.
To provoke Sarri’s vehement reaction – according to the British press – it would have been an insult of a racist nature (“Italian of shit”), addressed to him by a member of Burnley’s technical staff. As confirmed in the locker room by Gianfranco Zola, Sarri’s deputy at Stamford Bridge. “After what had happened, Maurizio preferred not to talk to the press – Zola’s confirmation -. Sarri was expelled after being offended. I think he was told something from the Burnley bench. We’ll see what to do about it. I think the story will have a following: we understand that adrenaline can play tricks, but it was saddened . Three matches in the Premier League again, and at least two more in the Europa League for the Baku final access: these are the last chances available to Sarri to make sense of a disappointing season especially from a gaming point of view. So far he has not been able to convey his playing philosophy to the Blues, putting his favorite students in difficulty. Like Gonzalo Higuain, unrecognizable since his arrival in London. Against Burnley the Argentine has found the net after a fast of six games, but at the time of the replacement he clearly protested against his coach: Sarri is more and more alone.
