Maurizio Sarri is a manager with a lot of opinions.
Chelsea boss gave his players a public overhaul after last weekend’s defeat to Arsenal, but according to one of his predecessors at the post, it can come to hit the Italian as a boomerang.
In his column on the BBC criticising Ruud Gullit, who works on the program Match of the Day, the current Chelsea manager, it was after star Eden Hazard.
He called the belgian for a individualist, but no one is looking.
– the Next time Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri asked about Eden Hazard, he should avoid saying anything negative – no matter what he thinks.
– It is very, very risky to criticize your players publicly, as Sarri did this week – even you know that you have the right, writes Ruud Gullit, who was manager at Stamford Bridge from 1996 to 1998.

the Dutchman can understand Sarris needs to be open and explain itself, but it is an own goal to be so critical in the media.
According to Gullit are the only ones who are profiting from it, the newspapers.
– Sarri should talk with his players, not about them. You have to keep your mouth closed.
– If you are starting to talk about the players instead of to them, so is there something wrong in the locker room, and it wants you, of course not, write Ruud Gullit and claim that he never even has come out with public criticism of his players, although he was dissatisfied with them.
It seemed, however, that Sarris words had some kind of effect. His Chelsea team – led by Eden Hazard – played on Thursday a nice League Cup semi-final against Tottenham and booked ticket for the final against Manchester City.
Ruud Gullit is, however, far from impressed, and also criticizes the italienerens procurement policy.
It was a big mistake to buy Jorginho, as Chelsea already had N’Golo Kanté, and to download Gonzalo Higuaín is, according to the dutchman is hardly the answer to Chelsea’s angrebskvaler.
