Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri questioned why his team is being criticized so many recent times, saying they are spending a season better than Premier League rival Arsenal.
The 3-0 win in the match against Malmo on Thursday made the Sarri team qualify for the 1/8 phase of the Europa League final. Chelsea had won the first game with a score of 2: 1.
Despite this success, the Italian has been under great pressure during the last time and even reported that he was near discharge. This pressure will continue this weekend as Chelsea meets Manchester City for the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
Sarri believes it is unfair that his team has been criticized even more than Arsenal, who have the same number of points in the Premier League and also have reached the 1/8 stage of the Europa League final.
“I keep listening to the people who praise Arsenal for this season, but they are not in the Carabao Cup final, they have the same number of Premier League scores with us and have reached 1/8 of the Europa League finals, as we did “Sarri said.
“I do not understand why people behave as if our season is so negative and Arsenal is very impressive. It is true that we have had a raise and raise, but given that this is my first season in a league and a new environment, I think that is acceptable. ”
“I took a team that finished fifth, and not one who won the championship last season.”
