 | Sarry:Late harvesting is not an excuse3-10-2018 |
Mauricez Sarri did not justify Chelsea`s unsatisfactory game against West Ham (0:0) with little time to prepare after the Europa League match against PAOK. Due to meteorological problems, the team managed to get back from Thessaloniki on Friday afternoon and so had to change their plan before the London derby from the sixth round of the Premier League. Do not know I did not think that was the problem, Sarri said, asking whether the late return to England had had an impact. I do not think that this is a problem at this stage of the season - only seven games have been played. Yes, it is difficult to match the games in the Europa League, but it will be much more difficult in March or April, added the Italian manager.
I said I do not understand why in England we can not move the meeting for Monday when we had a battle in the League of Europe before. In Italy this is possible. And here we had to play just 64 hours after a match from the European tourists, Sarri continued.
The former Napoleon mentor noted that West Ham was far from being a casual team. I knew it was a solid rival. I do not know why they lost their first four matches a good team they are. Perhaps they gained confidence after the victory over Everton in the last round. And we had to do better in the second half of the first half. It is impossible to win every meeting. One point today - that`s fine, Sarri finished.
