He finally said that they all play for the manager and for the results and performances, players share equal responsibilities with Sarri. He concluded:
What’s next?
Chelsea need to make a strong comeback from the bitter defeat at the hands of Manchester City in the EFL Cup final on Sunday. But, fellow London club Tottenham Hotspur, whom they host later tonight, won’t go down easily.
