Modified Nov 12, 2018 04:04 GMT

Chelsea were held to a goalless draw at the Stamford Bridge

#1 Record breaker Maurizio Sarri

Sarri is still unbeaten in the Premier League

Maurizio Sarri has completely changed the way football is played at Stamford Bridge over the years. Chelsea was a team built on a defensive foundation and relied on individual brilliance to win a game. However, the Italian has instilled an attacking mindset among the payers who now play a more passing and pressing game than what they were used to before.

It's always difficult for any new manager to adjust to the life in the Premier League but Sarri has made Stamford Bridge his home right from the word go. He has now become the first manager to remain unbeaten in first twelve games in the Premier League.

Even if Chelsea don't manage to win the league, a top three finish will be considered as successful season given the quality of football played and the reputation that Sarri has built among the Stamford Bridge faithful.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
