Maurizio Sarri appeared to storm out of training on the eve of Chelsea\u2019s Europa League final against Arsenal in Baku.<\/p>\nMaurizio Sarri appeared to storm out of training on the eve of Chelsea\u2019s Europa League final against Arsenal in Baku.<\/p>\n
The Blues manager threw his club baseball cap to the turf, kicked it, picked it up and threw it down again, before walking down the Baku Olympic Stadium tunnel.<\/p>\n
Chelsea were approached for comment on the matter, which came just hours after Sarri had revealed the growing love for his players amid rumours surrounding his long-term future.<\/p>\n
Sarri has already led Chelsea to next term\u2019s Champions League courtesy of a third-place Premier League finish, but doubts remain over his Stamford Bridge tenure after an often fractious first campaign in London.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe beginning of the season was really very difficult for me to understand my players, the mentality,\u201d said Sarri.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut after a very difficult month in January, in February they started to change, I think, probably I changed, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this moment I love them, because I have 20, 22 wonderful men and wonderful players. So now I am really very happy with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd of course I have to consider it for the future. And I have to consider that I love English football, I love the Premier League.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked if he could end up at Juventus next season, Sarri added: \u201cI want to think only to the final of course, then I have a contract with Chelsea for two years.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo first of all I will speak with Chelsea, but this is not the moment. Now we have only to think to the final.\u201d<\/p>\n
Derby boss Frank Lampard has been linked with a Chelsea move should Sarri leave, and despite swatting away speculation the current Blues manager conceded that Wednesday night\u2019s outcome could very well map out his future.<\/p>\n
Asked if the Europa League final represents the biggest moment of his life, Sarri replied: \u201cI don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know. Because the feeling from the coach between a coach and a journalist is different.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course this match for the media is the most important of my life, but probably not for me. I will only be able to answer tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chelsea head into Wednesday\u2019s match still sweating over midfielder N\u2019Golo Kante\u2019s fitness.<\/p>\n
Boss Sarri insisted he will hand Kante as much time as possible to prove his fitness, but only rated the France star as \u201c50-50\u201d on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n
Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Ross Barkley will start should Kante miss out.<\/p>\n
\u201cKante had a very little problem with his knee,\u201d said Sarri. \u201cThe problem is the timing, because we have only four days.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are trying. It\u2019s not really a very serious injury. We have the problem of the three, four days to try to recover him.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut at the moment we don\u2019t know. We will try, until the last moment. So we will try tomorrow, but we don\u2019t know at the moment. I think he is 50-50 at the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cYesterday, 60-40 against, and now, today, 50-50. He was a little bit better this morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are in trouble with the midfield. At the moment we have only three midfielders for three positions. So we are in trouble.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us N\u2019Golo really is very important. He is the only defensive midfielder that we have.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo for us Kante is really very important, we are trying to recover him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll try tomorrow morning. I hope to recover him because I know without N\u2019Golo for us is a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
