David Luiz Insists Chelsea Players Still Support Maurizio Sarri Despite Recent Humiliating Results

David Luiz has insisted that the Chelsea squad remain confident that Maurizio Sarri is the right man to lead the team, despite several abysmal results in recent weeks.

After the Blues suffered 4-0 and 6-0 defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City respectively, Sarri faced intense criticism from pundits and fans alike. His refusal to adapt his preferred style of play, coupled with his preference to operate with a smaller playing squad, have left the Italian under serious pressure.

Speaking after Thursday's 2-1 victory over Malmo, Luiz insisted that the squad remain confident in their manager.
