Chelsea boss Sarri: I am the coach for the players and not the fans

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was unhappy with the fans after yesterday's 1-1 draw with Wolves.

Eden Hazard struck in injury time to cancel out Raul Jimenez's surprise 56th-minute opener in what was Wolves' only shot on target.

Jorginho's substitution for Willian in the 72nd minute was met with cheers from the Chelsea supporters, and Sarri insists the reason for the Italian's removal was a tactical one.

He said: "I am the coach for the players and not the fans.

"For Jorginho it's difficult to play when the other players are not moving off the ball.

"He's very able to play at one touch but today it was impossible. He was in trouble and when I decided to play 4-2-3-1 Jorginho was not suitable."
