Maurizio Sarri wasn’t entirely satisfied with his 3-0 Premier League opener, discussed Chelsea transfer strategy and dinner with Carlo Ancelotti.
Jorginho was on target with a cheeky penalty in this afternoon’s win away to Huddersfield Town.
“I was not completely satisfied, as we won today mainly due to individual talent rather than tactical organisation,” Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.
Maurizio Sarri wasn’t entirely satisfied with his 3-0 Premier League opener, discussed Chelsea transfer strategy and dinner with Carlo Ancelotti.
Jorginho was on target with a cheeky penalty in this afternoon’s win away to Huddersfield Town.
“I was not completely satisfied, as we won today mainly due to individual talent rather than tactical organisation,” Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.
“It was an ugly game at times, physical and quite difficult too, but the lads emerged from it with great character.
“Some players arrived only a week or even three days ago, so our pre-season effectively begins now and we’ve got to hurry things.”
New goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made his debut, as Thibaut Courtois moved to Real Madrid.
“Fundamentally, the club was very open, we signed a great goalkeeper to replace another great one. I thought it right not to hold Courtois against his will, we got someone young like Mateo Kovacic who is ready to explode and also Jorginho."
Gonzalo Higuain wanted to reunite with Sarri at Stamford Bridge, but instead left Juventus for Milan.
“There are a few small regrets, but there always are once a transfer window closes.”
New Napoli boss Ancelotti said he’d invite Sarri out for dinner to discuss the squad.
“I’d gladly go if Ancelotti calls, because you are guaranteed that Carlo knows the best restaurants and any dinner with him would be excellent!”
Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis continues to make snide comments regarding his former Coach and Sarri’s response was given with a smile.
“Evidently he misses me…”
