Chelsea deputy head coach Gianfranco Zola insisted that Blues fans should be patient with Maurizio Sarri and what he is trying to achieve at the club.
One of the criticisms made by Maurizio Sarri this season is his stubbornness not to adapt to situations throughout the campaign.
The Italian continued his training with the 4-3-3 formation, Jorginho playing the role of "regista", while N'Golo Kante was forced to take a more forward-looking position to the right of midfielder three.
Meanwhile, the partnership between David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger remained at the center of the defense. Marcos Alonso has often kept his place in the left-back despite disappointing performances.
But this is the style of play that remains the same throughout his career with the Blues, even if it does not seem to work in a match.
Fans have become frustrated with the way the Blues have played, especially in recent months, but Zola insists that Sarri adapts his style to benefit the team but it will take time to develop.
"How do you know we do not make changes? We are adjusting a few things. Understand that it's the Premier League, "Zola said.
"But without, you know, change where we want to go. The direction is always the same. Two years ago you probably asked Pep Guardiola the same questions. You asked if he would continue to play from behind all the time.
"He said that it was not in the discussion and was part of my game, even in the difficult moment. Maybe he's adapted. He made a lot of progress in this area as he improved his team's defense, pressure, attacks and attacks.
"He adjusted something but not his way of seeing football. There are questions about what we do, a lot of doubts, but we try to adapt to the league. We adapt to the league, but we do not change what we think is good for this club because otherwise we are nothing.
"You admire what Pep did. This is definitely a good inspiration. Not everything comes right away. "
