Maurizio Sarri encouraged Chelsea fans to create a positive atmosphere during Wednesday’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion, claiming criticism of his coaching harms the team.
Blues supporters were vocal with their frustrations during a 2-1 win at Cardiff City on Sunday, with several fans chanting for Sarri to be sacked as they trailed in the closing stages.
“I think [the fans] have to help the players during the match,” Sarri told a pre-match news conference. “After, they can say anything. But during, I hope they can help my players.
“For me, it isn’t a problem. I am 60, so I can understand. But when I was 25, it was probably different.”
Sarri also offered a defence of his record at Chelsea, saying: “I am not happy, but I am not concerned. I can understand very well the frustrations, but we are not doing so badly.
“We have won 33 games and I think, in England, only Manchester City have done better than us.”
