Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal : What we learned from the first London Derby for the new managers

#5 Sarri's Philosophy

Maurizio Sarri, Chelsea Manager

Normally when we think about Chelsea we, associate them with a defensive brand of football. Chelsea have been successful all these years playing their way of football.

But Maurizio Sarri is a manager with a different philosophy. He likes to attack. He likes to keep hold of the ball more like Pep Guardiola. No doubt Pep proclaimed last season that Napoli was the best team that he had ever faced.

Chelsea's style of play against Arsenal is a reflection of what Sarri is all about. Though it leaves them vulnerable defensively but it allows them to push forward and hunt for goals which maintains the pressure on the opposition team throughout.

With this brand of football, if Sarri can manage to compact the defenses, then Chelsea could be a serious title contender this season.
