'Chelsealona' leaves Abramovich in high spirits as Sarri continues to impress

Roman Abramovich cast his eye over 'Sarriball' in person at the Allianz Riviera in Nice on Saturday, and he will like what he saw as Chelsea drew 1-1 in a tight game against Inter.

The elusive Chelsea owner waited until the second game of Chelsea's pre-season to watch the man that he fought so hard to get from Napoli, with his stated objective to lead the Blues into an exciting new era of attacking football.

Pedro was the star of the show. The ex-Barcelona man is rediscovering his form playing in a new shape under Maurizio Sarri, reminiscent of his displays with the Catalan side.
