A flawless stayBaku – Just three months ago, groups of Chelsea fans sang it with vigor, disgust and impatience. "F * ck Sarriball" – that was the answer to the 2-0 home defeat against Manchester United in the FA Cup.
He had a difficult first year in England, Maurizio Sarri. He was not brought to Chelsea because of a rich history of trophy uprisings, like most of the others who fell in front of him, but by his style of play. An identity. His philosophy. We spent most of our first year in London waiting to see what all the noise of Napoli had sparked – and we may have seen it in Baku on Wednesday night.

You can highlight Arsenal's soft belly – he was certainly present during the 4-1 defeat against the Blues in the Europa League final – but what we saw in the second half of Chelsea was a real show . Four goals, a succession of chances, always looking for more, and a European trophy in the end.
It seemed that the Sarri players had finally I have it. The Italian admitted that he was happy with his players in recent months. He has even "loved" them now, while previous months were difficult to manage. David Luiz, senior Chelsea player and apparently the spokesperson of the club this week in Azerbaijan, reaffirmed after the victory that the team stood firmly alongside his boss.
"It's his first season in the club," said the Brazilian. "He was great – he's a great person, a great guy, a great manager – and we finished in the best conditions for him – we finished winning a trophy, even after scoring 3 -1, we tried to play his philosophy and score more goals. "
That's exactly what Sarriball does, and it seems like it's finally – after "all the hardships", as Luiz himself says – a click with the players available to 60-year-olds. The time has come for fans who have made their disapproval so vocally three months ago to catch up.
Speaking to Chelsea fans in the Azerbaijani capital and London in recent weeks, there is a fundamental message that says Sarri is not the right person. That it changes remains to be seen.
Their complaints? Too emotional, this "vanguard" trying to implement the ideas that have earned him this job, a lot of boring possession, not enough goals, third place in the Premier League behind his two best teams of all time, reaching the final of a national competition and winning one in Europe. You know, not the right fit. Not good enough for a first season. Get a winner and start the cycle again, it will fix it. Or Frank Lampard, has gained loads as a player. he l & # 39; obtains.
Chelsea fans chanting "f *** Sarriball" must now celebrate the end of the season with a 3rd place and a European trophy awarded by Sarri

Chelsea might have to look at Lampard, Mbadimiliano Allegri or anyone else related to this job if Sarri was to leave. There have been close and repeated ties with Juventus over the past two weeks and while Sarri openly declared that he deserved another year after winning his first match. first trophy as a professional manager after 16 years, only a meeting coming up with Marina Granovskaia will decide if he will lead the Blues for next season.
If he has to go, or even be pushed, he can at least now do it with his head held high. But for Chelsea, Baku seemed to be a decisive moment. It would not be more pleasant than trampling a rival of a city at a grand European final and this could give a glimpse of what will happen to a man who is not still given his chance.

Managers with ideals take time to work. Just look Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola to Liverpool and Manchester City for proof of that. And Chelsea owes his current boss to support him, change his ruthless reputation and create his own style that does not consist of winning at all costs.
Because there is something that we have learned from the last two years in English football, and especially on Wednesday night in Baku, the style can also win trophies.
