The Germany defender knew what to expect when the former Napoli boss arrived in west London and is happy with their progress so far
Working with Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea is proving as much fun as Antonio Rudiger expected, as the defender prefers the new coach's playing style to that of Antonio Conte.
After guiding his pulsating Napoli team to second in Serie A last season, Sarri was lured to London to take over the Blues and restore them as Premier League title challengers in the wake of their fifth place finish under Conte.
Chelsea have a perfect record in the English top flight after four games as Sarri's pass-heavy style begins to take hold and it is going even better than former Roma star Rudiger expected.
