Cesar Azpilicueta refuses to criticize Chelsea fans after Sarri Out win in Cardiff

Cesar Azpilicueta refused to criticize Chelsea supporters after large sections of outside support chanted for Maurizio Sarri's dismissal in the Cardiff match on Sunday.

Fan support for the Italian has been lacking for most of his term since his arrival this summer in Naples, with the blue faithful publicly expressing their doubts in the "Sarriball" style of play in a mixed form.

Quoted by the subway after a tight 2-1 win, Azpilicueta said: "I can not complain about the fans. We have to give them something to appreciate on the ground. With recent performance, it is normal that they are not happy. It is up to us to reverse the situation.

"We have always had their support in bad times, and when all goes well, we all enjoy them together." We have a great chance from Wednesday [against Brighton] at the Bridge to play a great game and create a good atmosphere. "

Chelsea are in a tight battle for the top four and a spot in the Champions League next season, currently ranking sixth, although only one point is behind Manchester United and Tottenham in front of them.

"I think in the last two games, the performances have not been at our level," added the Spaniard. "We have not created many opportunities, we have conceded goals easily, I think there is a lot to improve, we are almost at the end of the season, so we need to progress Yesterday, we showed a lot of character because normally, do not return bad results ".

The Blues will host Brighton Wednesday before a London derby against West Ham at Stamford Bridge the following Monday.
