Maurizio Sarri receives order to replace Marcos Alonso with this star





Chelsea named a soft side against Hungarian outfit Vidi in their Europa League clash on Thursday.
The Blues settled for a draw when Olivier Giroud leathered a powerful strike from a set piece into the back of the net, as Chelsea topped their group to cross into the competition’s knockout stages.
Chelsea have had to rely on their back four this season. Maurizio Sarri’s choice of playing David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger in the centre has paid off really well. Chelsea’s skipper Caesar Azpilicueta has remained resolute in his berth and so also Marcos Alonso.
While the former has not been pounded heavily with harsh criticisms from fans, the latter has been fed faint doses of it.
Alonso may be great at the left back berth, there is no hank about that however, it hasn’t rubbed out the fact that he’s still feeble at the backline. The Spain international has garnered a lot of admiration from Chelsea fans, but fans want Sarri to give Emerson Palmieri a chance, following his brilliant performance in Chelsea 2-2 draw against Vidi.
The Italian international is faster, says fans. He may not be amazing defensively, but the Italian is more fluid in attack, claimed one fan.

"I'm really happy with the decision, but there is a time where I have to put it in the back of my head now, once the season gets going.

"Sometimes, there's two or three players around him and he still manages to get out in tight spaces. "He's a magician, he's impressive. Now, I've started to know him and I don't find myself near him.

'He's been angrier when we've won' - Chelsea players escaped a Sarri backlash after Spurs defeat, says Luiz

The Blues were comprehensively beaten by Tottenham on Saturday, but the Brazilian revealed the manager's reaction was not one of sheer anger Maurizio Sarri has displayed more anger after Chelsea have won games than he did in the wake of Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Tottenham, according to David Luiz. Chelsea produced their poorest performance of the season at Wembley, finding themselves trailing 2-0 after just 16 minutes thanks to goals from Dele Alli and Harry Kane. Sarri labelled Chelsea's performance a "disaster", acknowledging he saw little way back after Kane's goal despite having 74 minutes left of the game. However, David Luiz has revealed Sarri's unexpected post-match reaction, with the Italian apparently calmer than after some of Chelsea's wins this term. "He has been, many times, angrier when we've won," the defender told reporters. "It's true. Nobody is happy, of course, the coach is not happy. ...
