Maurizio Sarri

“Chelsea is one of the most important clubs in the most important championship in Europe.”

“In Empoli, I had a very young team, but the players were very young but very good.”

“I like it when the team is in control of the match. I like very much the ball possession; I like to play in the other half.”

“I spent my time in Serie C: that's a league that grinds you down and spits you out.”

“My working day usually lasts from 9 A.M. to 7 P.M., then two hours of viewing time for myself. It's like a religion.”

“I like it when the team is training very well, when they are trying to improve, and I like it also when they have fun.”

“In Naples, I was very lucky to find my players adapted to my way of football. They were strong as players and strong from a human point of view.”

“Sometimes it's difficult to win even if you are the best team. If you're not, it's more difficult.”

“I am not able to think about this as a job, like work. It's 12 or 13 hours, but for me, it's not working.”

“In the Premier League, there is a team above the others. This team is Manchester City. Then there is a very good team, Liverpool.”
