Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri says Sarri-ball is an invention by the English press.
Chelsea fans have been barracking the manager over his playing style.
But Sarri says: "I don't know the meaning of Sarri-ball.
"As I said in England on the first day, I don't know what Sarri-ball is. I think it's from a journal, I think. In Italy, I have never heard it. I don't know."
Chelsea make the short trip across London to Wembley this Sunday to meet Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
