Sarri: Abramovich wanted me for attacking football

The Blues boss has been busy in his time trying to implement his own style of football, after joining last season's FA Cup winners in the summer

Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri believes that his club's owner Roman Abramovich brought him in specifically to play his attacking brand of football, but added that he has worked so tirelessly on the training ground, that he has barely seen any of London.

Sarri arrived at Stamford Bridge late after Chelsea chased him over the summer, as they struggled to find an agreement with Napoli's president Aurelio De Laurentiis over bringing him into the club.
