As per a report from West London Sport, Maurizio Sarri wants to see a more aggressive start to matches from his Chelsea players, starting this week in the crunch clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
Sarri will see his men come up against a Spurs side who are having their best ever start to a Premier League season.
Chelsea have also had an impressive start to their campaign, becoming the only team in Europe to be unbeaten in every competition at this stage.
The mood around Stamford Bridge this season is a stark contrast from the last under Antonio Conte and the moods have been lifted in recent times also, with N’Golo Kante signing a new deal at the club until 2023.
However, in the pre-Spurs press conference, Sarri touched on one of the problems in his near-perfect Chelsea side that have come to fruition in the past three matches. The Blues boss said:
We had problems with the approach to the match, but not only that, because we have some problem also in the beginning of the second half, we have to be careful. We have to be focused on this problem. The problem was that the opponents were more aggressive, more determined than us.
It’s not a tactical problem, it’s not a physical problem. We have to approach the match in a different way, for application and determination.
