Agent: Chelsea boss Sarri didn't understand Giaccherini at Napoli

The agent of Chievo Verona midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini says Maurizio Sarri didn't understand him at Napoli.

Sarri has since left Napoli for Chelsea.

“At Napoli he couldn't show his full ability due to a tactical misunderstanding with Maurizio Sarri," Furio Valcareggi explained on Radio Crc.

“Giaccherini was deployed on the right wing, but he was more suitable to cover other roles on the pitch. Now we look forward, the divorce was consensual.

“Against Juventus Emanuele played an excellent game, and at the end of the match he also shared a few words with Cristiano Ronaldo.

“The Juventus we saw on the pitch on Saturday cancels all other teams' ability to fight for the Scudetto. They're aliens, they deserved to win because they created countless scoring opportunities they didn't take advantage of.

“When you have CR7 in the team there's nothing for anyone."
