Cesc Fabregas blames Maurizio Sarri for what he did in the Europa League final

Cesc Fabregas blamed Maurizio Sarri for failing to give Chelsea captain Gary Cahill a last farewell appearance in the complete Europa League win over Arsenal.

Chelsea swept their London rivals during a second wild period in Baku on Wednesday night, thanks to a double from Eden Hazard and goals from Olivier Giroud and Pedro sealing the win.

Cahill, who will leave Chelsea at the end of his contract this summer, was left on the bench despite the margin of victory, Davide Zappacosta becoming the last under in the 89th minute.

Cesar Azpilicueta, who wore the armband in Baku, did not hesitate to invite Cahill to lift the trophy with him, but Fabregas and Eidur Gudjohnsen felt that Sarri had missed the opportunity to do honor to him. right back with a late cameo.

"A fantastic servant for the club. I mean, if there's one thing I miss tonight, it's this contact from someone, "Fabregas said. BT Sport.

"In particular, it should come – and I know it's his [Sarri’s] night, I do not want to say anything negative tonight – but a little touch to Gary Cahill, there are only five minutes, 4-1 against Arsenal, put it on, give him the armband.

Let him go as a true hero as he deserves. That failed me to be honest. Anyway, good evening for the Chelsea football club. "

Gudjohnsen, who was also in the studio, said, "It's absolutely perfect. I'm not sure it even crossed Sarri's mind, because maybe as a coach he was so focused on everything that's going on. "

Cesc replied, "But that's why you also have people around you who help you."

Gudjohnsen again agreed: "Yes, people say," Listen, in five minutes, 4-1, show the respect it deserves. " He has been a fantastic servant for Chelsea. "

Sarri's treatment of Cahill – who was ruled out of the first team and played only twice in the Premier League this season for a total of 22 minutes – would have annoyed a number of Chelsea players.
