Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri insists Sarriball is here to stay.

Sarri has no intention of ditching the game plan and, given time, is confident he can win around the fanbase and bring success back to the six-time English champions.

"I know only one way (of satisfying supporters) - we have to win matches. We have to try to win a trophy. I know only this way," he said.

"I think that, in the future, we will be able to fight for the top.

"At the moment, we are not playing our football very well.

"We need to improve playing our way of football. So we are trying to do this, but it's not easy.

"It's not easy, especially in the first season because we started to work only in the middle of July. At the beginning of August, we played the first official match."

Asked if he would alter his approach to games, he replied: "No, because I need to believe in what I do. Otherwise, for me, it's impossible for me to pass my ideas to the players."
