Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is full of praise for Coach Maurizio Sarri -“his system is perfect for me”.The former Juventus man had a difficult first season in England, but has been back to his best in recent weeks.

“I was told that he’s a Coach who plays very well with the ball and loves tactical work, but he also has a good personal relationship with the players,”Morata revealed, speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Sarri knows perfectly the difference between the various moments in the life of a squad: when you need to work he’s like a general and is the first to set the example, when it’s time to joke he can have you dying of laughter.
