His side also dropped out of the top four but he has no plans to alter his favoured 4-3-3 formation with Jorginho as a central playmaker.“The situation is very clear. English football is in the hands of these teams because they had a plan and they were patient,” Sarri said in his press conference ahead of Chelseas match with Huddersfield Town at the weekend.“I want to remember that in the first season Klopp and Liverpool were in the middle of the table.“I am a dreamer, I want to play my football.”2

Sarri pointed to Klopp’s first season at Liverpool as a reason for patience

Sarri refused to compromise on his football principles – or even to have a contingency plan.“Why? First of all, I want to do very well the plan A, I think,” he added.“I don’t want to change something that at the moment doesn’t work very well. First of all, I want to see my football played very well, then we can go to change something.

“Everybody 10 years ago knew very well Barcelona, but Barcelona won everything because Barcelona played very well their football.“First of all, I want to play very well my football. Then I can change.”Chelsea are, though, in the final of the Carabao Cup, into the fifth round of the FA Cup and will play Malmo in the Europa League last-32. Sarri was asked if the job was more difficult than he anticipated.The former Napoli boss said: “Probably, yes. But I knew very well it’s very difficult because here the level is very high.“It’s very difficult because this team played another football (under predecessor Antonio Conte). It’s very difficult because they won (playing) another football. So it’s very difficult. We can do it I think.”
