There is never a time one can handle challenges in fragile situation when things keeps falling apart according to African novelist Chinua Achebe. Maurizio Sarri arrived Stamford Bridge when Chelsea needed to consolidate its stand among the elite clubs in the English premier league despite not having any CV to fall back on in terms of antecedents. Haven own up on the fact he has struggled to win over the larger fan base with his philosophy of the game, adaptation to English football but the most worrisome is his players finding it difficult to shake off old football habits. Just like he is finding it difficult getting over his smoking habit you might say by having fake smoke paper between his fingers in match days.
However, Italian has no choice but to prove the trust of his employers. After losing out on his first major trophy to Pep Guardiola in the Carabao Cup finals on penalty, his boys struggled to finish third on the Epl log but the litmus test he must pass in his UEFA Europa Cup finals in Baku against Arsenal come next Wednesday.
Loftus Cheek in the fastest rising Chelsea academic player tipped to fit into Eden hazard will a lot of impressive display this season and have score vital goals for the team when called upon. The attacking midfielder known for his dribble and hunger for goal compiled Maurizion Sarri moaning when he picked up an ankle injury from an innocuous challenge in a friendly match organised to raise money to help organisations fight anti-Semitism and discrimination across the globe against new England Revolution in Boston.
That mean the England player will miss out Sarri squad in that fixture. The head coach is now left with three midfielders to choose from after another academic player Callum Hudson-Odoi; a fast rising teenager entered the injury list after suffering the same injury in the closing week of the premier league campaign.
Sarri will be hoping Ngolo Kante to be fit on time to participate in that game but the chuck of excuses coming from the media about his pending sack if he fails to deliver the trophy to the London club may have compounded Sarri’s fears. He will most definitely lead his boys to that arena with the hope to win the trophy. While fans may not take excuses as an explanation, Sarri must bring all his ace to bear in that match if he must be considered a successful manager for once in his career.

Sarri must look beyond his weakness to get something out of that game.
