The reasons why Maurizio Sarri left his mysterious tear

Maurizio Sarri plays an active role in his premature departure from Chelsea. This fact, with any number of its motivations, should belittle many of the stories surrounding it.

Maurizio Sarri continues to take Chelsea in new directions. When they hired him, he was the first permanent director to arrive without a trophy to his name. He was the first Blues coach to wear maternity wear during games and the first to chew on nicotine-based products during games, not to mention both at once. After many other firsts and peculiarities throughout the season, he can conclude with the rarest of tricks: terminate his contract by mutual consent.

Sarri reportedly ordered his agent to negotiate with Juventus and Chelsea for the purchase of his contract by the Italian club. Chelsea does not seem too inclined to argue. The club is simply looking for the face value of the second year of its contract.

For their part, Chelsea does not have much choice. If Sarri wants to leave, he will not be particularly effective if the club forces him to stay. Despite all the talk about fractured locker rooms and the palpable discord of previous years, these managers struggled to keep their jobs. Even more than a player, when a coach wants to leave, the club must let him go or face avoidable and palpable consequences.

The two main explanations of Sarri's desire are as credible as they are laughable. Each of them compromises a story about which he arrived at the club and that made the speech around Chelsea so appalling this season.

The first is the transfer ban. Chelsea has not yet appealed this ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, suggesting that they will lift it now and dispel it. Various Italian outlets have stated that Maurizio Sarri did not want to start a new season without new players, both because he did not have what he wanted in the current blues group and because – and remember, it's them, not we say it – he does not trust the young players available, including those on loan.

But we understand why you think maybe we said it. We've been saying it for over a year now.

Sarri himself stated that he was not interested in the transfer market and that he preferred to work with the players he had. Jorginho and Gonzalo Higuain have a defense value of £ 65 million.

His Janissaries amplified this lie by saying that Sarri takes a particular pleasure in developing young players. Although he did not introduce any player from the academy into the first team of Napoli and leaves virtually no player under 23, Sarri was presented as a man at once pragmatic and idealistic: he goes to war with the army he has and loves nothing more. bring the academy into the senior team.

Any review of the game models in Napoli or Chelsea (like those of last summer) shows that this is not true. The years 2018/20 have confirmed this, except for a few major externalities, perhaps a native of Germany.

It is perfectly logical that Maurizio Sarri wants to leave if Chelsea accepts the transfer ban. He desperately wants more players, different players, "his" players.

He believes – rightly, but for reasons different from those he believes – that he can no longer teach Chelsea players and that some of them resist more than Sarriball. Give it back to the youth and the faithful back – gasp! they are unknown to him! – is an abject nightmare. Sarri might think his circuits are as demanding as his followers, which would explain why he believes young players can not handle them.

If Roman Abramovich is as cunning as many people think, he refuses to appeal this ban because he knows he will get rid of Sarri faster than a "No Smoking" sign.

Secondly, Sarri would prefer to be where he is loved, and this is not Stamford Bridge. Of course, no one wants to be and should not be subject to the innate affronts that are so common on football fields around the world. Unfortunately, that's part of the job. And Sarri has had more ease with Blues fans than almost all of his predecessors, a rolling smoothness all the more remarkable as he has given little to his fans in return.

Sarriball was to be an immediate remedy for the discomfort that would supposedly affect Chelsea fans who were fed up with Conté and Jose Mourinho's "lbadants", "negatives", "anti-football". Whether outside the digital crowd or not, it's a different subject. Sarriball would make Chelsea thrilling again, with long periods of enthusiasm and offense.

Instead, fans received a Dickensian lesson on what a "regista" looks like in the modern Premier League. Chelsea observers discovered that the Sarri circuit-based game was as fast as the Blues opponents. They were still waiting for a spark – a replacement, a tactical reorganization, a brilliant team play moment – which would mean that Sarri did something other than transfer Chelsea from a moderate possession team to a team of possession of high possession.

He has never been here yet. Sarri did not seem to be very happy with his reworking of Chelsea's game. Even as the team entered the era of Sarriball's peaks – and then plateaux – in mid-September, Sarri did nothing to show his happiness or let fans know, "That! It makes me happy and should make you happy too! "

Sarri would always be lagging behind his immediate predecessor in the charism department. Antonio Conte has done everything to seduce his fans even before winning the title of Premier League.

Jumping into the crowd after the goals and aggressively hugging each player after a win is not Sarri's personality. It's good. But he did nothing to convince the players, aside from the ketchup at the canteen and the fun trainings that had nothing to do with the outbreak of injuries at the end of the season. He has not made any effort to reach the fans either.

He hopes that on returning to Italy, where he is a known personality and who understands the culture of football better, he will be welcomed and accepted from the first day. He underestimates how much Juventus fans like to win. the bianconeri Love will be even more conditional than that of the Blues.

Maurizio Sarri gives immense favor to Chelsea taking the initiative to leave. He spares them the usual drama and payments that accompany a management rollover.

Sarri has good reasons to leave. Unfortunately, these same factors would have been valid reasons not to hire him and give up all this episode. If it was not for Travis and me, no one had bothered to spend a few hours last summer on YouTube or TransferMarkt doing basic research on this man's management. models.

These models have not changed this season and they probably will not be at Juventus. It will be their problem, and they have even less excuses to expect anything other than Chelsea.
