Chelsea news: Maurizio Sarri reportedly holds clear-the-air talks with players following Arsenal defeat
Maurizio Sarri reportedly held peace talks with his Chelsea players at training on Monday following their 2-0 loss to Arsenal.In his post-match press conference, Sarri was heavily critical of the performance and said his players are ‘difficult to motivate’.2

Maurizio Sarri publicly slammed his players after their 2-0 defeat at Arsenal

Using a translator to ensure his message was made clear, the 60-year-old vented his frustrations.“I’m really angry about the approach that we adopted today,” Sarri said. “It’s an approach we can’t really accept.“This defeat was due to our mentality, more than anything else. This is something I can’t accept.2

Chelsea were nowhere near their best at Arsenal

“This group of players are extremely difficult to motivate.”According to The Times, Sarri held talks with his squad at Chelsea training on Monday to clear the air after making his comments.First-half goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Laurent Koscielny meant it was a fourth defeat of the season for Chelsea and leaves them just three points ahead of Arsenal in the race for Champions League football.With the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham to come on Thursday, Sarri has attempted to smooth things over with his squad as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit and progress to the final.Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes Sarri knows it is only a matter of time before he will be sacked by the club. Sarri knows hes going to get sacked at some point in the next 18 months or two years,” Neville told Sky Sports. “Thats inevitable at Chelsea.He may as well call it how he sees it in the first six months when hes got a little bit of control. Its just a dressing room which can turn it on and off like a tap, its been able to do that for years.He continued: Sarrihas probably thought hes an experienced guy, hes been around the block, and thinks he doesnt need to take it.I have to say normally I would always say its not right to call out your players.But were going to see more of it, theres no doubt in the next five or 10 years.I think itll become the norm, because its us or them.
