No, their style is more distinct and their players are never used to playing good football for the past 2 decades. He has also made many intelligent tweaks to the team, like making Kante now become their Ramsey with runs into the box. Its a lot harder to transform from a Conte team in just 3 weeks to a Sarri team, making Rudiger play comfortably from the back and bringing Luiz back into the team etc. If he manage to coax Hazard into a proper goalscoring player like how he did with Mertens they would probably challenge seriously for the league
The only thing i’m amazed about is that you’re surprised Chelsea’s style of play has changed so much compared to ours.
You said it yourself. They haven’t played an attacking style of football for years and years. Of course it’s going to be obvious if they play differently than they did under managers like Mourinho, Conte etc.
You were talking about our luck in another thread but Chelsea were lucky to beat us, needed a late goal against Newcastle after conceding in the 83rd minute and should probably have lost yesterday. Would you be singing his praises if they were 5 points worse off than they are now?
