Anyone want to take that bet?
I look at liverpool and their failure to win trophies, but I see progress. I see hope and optimism. If sarri requires the same time to rebuild like klopp does, I'm more than happy to support him.
The big thing for Klopp is that he's been finishing top 4. With UCL you're in totally different position to attract those players for rebuild. For Chelsea it could mean the difference between Hazard staying or leaving or so.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup Final is an upcoming football match to determine the winner of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. It will be the 21st final of the FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The match will be held at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia, on 15 July 2018 and will be contested by France and Croatia.
Sarri built up his reputation by playing fast one touch football straight from the back right to the front. His final Napoli side looked like Mertens Insigne & Callejon in the front 3 which are all inter changing and making many runs for the likes of Jorginho, Allan and Hamsik to find with quick 1 or at max two touch football. Sarri ball is just very slick and fast paced and it drew praise from Pep himself saying that the Napoli side of last year was the best he had ever faced and was in awe of Mr Sarri.
The best part is the anchor of Sarri ball in this Napoli side was Jorginho, he plays with 1 touch most of the time and at max takes two touches anchoring the midfield and playing delightful balls through to any runners, he breaks up the play as well.
Basically we should see an offensive fast paced counter system but with the added factor of being able to break teams down who sit in vs us due to playing the ball very quickly with 1-2 touches maximum.
Many ppl bring up he hates 5-4-1, therefore expecting Alonso to be dropped.
Assuming he plays 4-3-3 (or 4-2-3-1) and you guys don't sign Higuain, it will be most likely Hazard-Morata-Willian up front and Fabregas/Jorginho as anchors in the middle. Although if he favours more pace maybe drop Fab and slide Hazard to 10, put Pedro left?
I really feel like he will unleash full potential of Morata/Hazard. It would be really cool if you guys had someone like Cuadrado on right too ^^
Yeah i think he will play 4-3-3 and like you say midfield of something like; Jorgino Kante Cesc/Barkley/Bakayoko mabe even Golovin we are heavily linked with him.
Then front 3 picks itself in Morata Hazard Willian yeah, should be great potential.

Jorghino Kante would be sturdy enough to play Sarri Ball with cesc playing in the advanced role the midfield 3
Although if you could find someone better than Cesc that would be nice :
Feels like there are a couple of pieces missing here to really make it scary looking team still.

Desperately in need of a new CF for sure. Morata just doesn't cut it.

Imagine if Chelsea somehow gets Kane ...
Holy shit
Nah. I actually have confidence in Morata now that he does not need to play as a battering ram. He looked bad simply cuz he did not suit conte's style at all. Drogba had the strength, Costa had pace and technique. Both were great bullies in their own ways and lukaku would have been the perfect blend. Alas we got Morata for that role instead.

by his choice or chelsea's?
The quote Hazard said it is up to Chelsea what they do with him. He loves Chelsea but also is intrigued by Real Madrid, but don't forget Real haven't even hinted they want him. Italian press convinced they are lodging a £100million bid for the serbian guy Savic. I see them getting Lewandowski plus Savic then going into the season with Bale and Savic plus Lewa/Benzema then next summer going for a galactico.
This was the quote btw;
"After six wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different.
"Certainly after this World Cup. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision - if they want to let me go. You know my preferred destination."
savic is definitely not a player in the mold of hazard though. think of him as an enforcer in the middle of the park (so the kante type but without the stamina). considering ronaldo's sale; i'm guessing isco will be moved to the left - you can probably put milinkovic-savic where isco plays up the middle behind the striker, but i don't think its his best position.
The way Hazard has put his words, there's definitely some negotiations going on.
It might a tricky position for RM though, because it's so clear they've got cash to splash around and want some big name to counterweight the Ronaldo transfer. Someone like Hazard isn't going to be cheap at that point.
