Chelsea fullback Emerson discusses his past coaches: Heart matters

Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmieri has appreciated the coaches he's worked with.

Emerson played for Luciano Spalletti at Roma and Antonio Conte, Maurizio Sarri and Frank Lampard with Chelsea.

He told Sky Italia: "I learned a lot from Conte, he proved himself to be a fantastic coach, but I think for the time we worked together and the results we achieved, I got even more from Sarri.

“Spalletti at Roma is more of a friend or a father figure, he talks to you every day, asks about your family, makes sure you're happy. Sarri is more focused on the pitch, but you can tell he's got a gigantic heart, even if he doesn't speak as much.

“They are quite similar, although Sarri is more tactical and focused, while Spalletti leaves a little more room for fun in his training sessions. Sarri definitely got angrier!

Frank Lampard is young, he was a player until recently, so he knows how to talk to the players. He was an idol at Chelsea and I'm sure he'll get even better as a coach. He's got a great heart."
