Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has shrugged off the latest blast from his former Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis.

De Laurentiis again took aim at Sarri this week for failing to deliver silverware over the three years he was with the club.

But the Blues manager responded: "De Laurentiis talks a lot about me because he misses me.

"But he, for now, I do not miss, in Naples it's true that we did not win anything but set a record of 91 points and went twice in the Champions League.

"Naples and Napoli must be proud of these results, also because we have faced a Juventus that has won everything in Italy.

"(Rafa) Benitez, I have to thank him. I have arrived in an environment ready to play great football. For us it will be tough against Newcastle."
