New Chelsea boss Sarri: I love Napoli very much

New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has paid tribute to former club Napoli and their fans.

Sarri spoke to Chelsea TV on Monday.

“First of all, I have to say thank you to the people of Naples because they have helped me in every way for three years. I love them very much and I love them forever," he began.

“My style of play? I think in Naples I was very lucky to find many players who adapted very well to my football.

“The players were very strong, very strong from a human point of view, so I think I was lucky to transport my way of football, my idea of football on the pitch [which was] essentially [thanks to] the quality of my players.

“I think Chelsea are a good team. The problem is that in England, there are five or six very good teams. I think with one or two adjustments, we can try to play my football.

“Jorginho? He's not a physical player, he's a technical player, but [his] most important quality is that he's very quick in the mind so he has the ability to move the ball very quickly."
