LUIZ: WE ALL STILL BELIEVE IN SARRI

- FROM DARREN LEWIS in Malmo

DAVID LUIZ revealed Maurizio Sarri has had a heart-to-heart with his Chelsea players to find out whether they still believe in his methods.

The 31-year-old Brazilian (below) said: “We have had many meetings already saying if someone doesn’t believe, they can speak up. Nobody said anything. It’s because everyone believes.”

‘Sarriball’ is the fastpaced, possession-based attacking football which saw the Italian’s Napoli stars dazzle in Serie A last season.

But the Blues boss has so far struggled to implement the playing style at Chelsea and they were humiliated 6-0 last Sunday by Manchester City.

Luiz added: “We have to be positive and think about what we can do now because the past is the past – it was a tough game for us against City, but we have to keep going and carry on because we have many games to come.”
