Hudson-Odoi Beamed: "I Am Very Happy For The Win. We All Worked Hard. The Manager Told Me To Go And Express Myself. I Feel Comfortable, Hopefully I Did Well." MAURIZIO SARRI reaped the rewards of finally putting faith in Chelsea’s kids but Callum Hudson-Odoi quickly found out he wasn’t happy with how everything went as the Blues ripped Brighton apart. AT LONG last, Maurizio Sarri turned to his Chelsea kids – and they ripped Brighton apart to boost his team’s chances of a top four place. Callum Hudson-Odoi produced a sparkling performance to help set to a crucial first goal, and his fellow England man Ruben Loftus Cheek provided a brilliant third strike to seal the points. The old guard also weighed in, Olivier Giroud converting Hudson-Odoi’s cross, and Eden Hazard pouncing on Loftus-Cheek’s pass for the second goal. The fans had been increasingly calling for Hudson-Odoi to be given his chance, and the 18-year-old did not disappoint. Neither did Loftus-Ch

My Desire Is To Face Chelsea Or Arsenal – Slavia Prague Coach Slavia Prague coach Jindrich Trpisovsky has revealed his desire to play Arsenal or Chelsea in the Europa League quarter-finals. The Czech side pulled off a shock win in the Europa League last 16 when they beat Spanish giants Sevilla with an aggregate scoreline of 6-5. It will be their first appearance in the quarter-final stage in Europe since the year 2000 and there is palpable excitement around the club to play one of the big boys of the continent. Trpisovsky wants to take his side on an away trip to England in the next stage of the competition and believes his players and fans deserve to play against one of the top teams. The Slavia Prague coach made it clear he wants either of the two English sides – Chelsea and Arsenal – in the last eight. Trpisovsky was quoted as saying by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato: “My desire for the draw is to take Slavia Prague to England. “All of us have th

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri's style doesn't work for this player - Guillem Balague That’s according to journalist Guillem Balague, who doesn’t think Hazard is showing he can adapt to the Italian’s system. Sarri has come under serious scrutiny at Chelsea this season. The 60-year-old looked to be on his way out of Stamford Bridge after 4-0 and 6-0 hammerings away at Bournemouth and Manchester City were followed up with an FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United, but a spirited performance in their Carabao Cup final penalty shootout defeat by City and a 2-0 win over Tottenham has lifted some pressure from his shoulders. However, Balague believes one of Sarri’s main problems is the form of Hazard - who has tailed off since scoring seven goals in his first eight games of the season. “When you sign Sarri, you know what you’re getting,” he said on his Youtube channel. “If you believe that he’s your leader, you should help him by getting the players that

Sarri  slams Chelsea fans  speaks on getting sacked after FA Cup defeat to Man Utd.  Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri, has insisted he is not worried about getting sacked, following their 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup on Monday night. Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba both scored in the first half, as the Red Devils dumped the holders out. And frustrated Chelsea fans chanted “F*** Sarri-ball” and even sang “you’re getting sacked in the morning” at the Italian. Substitutions were jeered and the side were booed off at both the break and full-time. “I am worried about the results – not about the fans. “I can understand, because the result wasn’t really good. We are out of the FA Cup, so I can understand. But I am worried about the results.   “I could not hear what they were singing very well, but sometimes yes. I have never had that sung at me before, but there is always a first time,” Sarri told Sky Sports after the game.

'I don't care about manager's criticism,' says Eden Hazard after inspiring Chelsea to semi-final win Chelsea's Eden Hazard insisted he had ignored recent criticism from his manager as he expressed delight at inspiring his side to the Carabao Cup final. Hazard struck the crucial second goal and was by some way his side's best player as Chelsea eventually overcame Tottenham on penalties to secure a Wembley date against Manchester City. A stirring display from the Real Madrid transfer target came just days after Maurizio Sarri questioned his leadership qualities, and accused the whole team of being "extremely difficult to motivate". Asked whether he was angered by criticism, Hazard said: "I don't care. I just play my football. It doesn't matter what the manager said. I just focus on my football and want to do my best for this team." Sarri, who was one of the first top-flight managers to receive a yellow card f

The Brazilian forward went down in a heap in the second half and tried to play through the pain after some initial treatment on the touchline at the Parc des Princes. However, Moussa Diaby came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute and Neymar was in tears, as he made his way down the tunnel. Neymar, who suffered foot problems before and during the World Cup last summer, appeared to roll his ankle while dribbling past Strasbourg midfielder Moataz Zemzemi.

Mourinho reveals why Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0

Mourinho reveals why Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0 Former Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has praised Arsenal for disrupting Chelsea’s build-up play, during their 2-0 victory at the Emirates on Saturday. Goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Laurent Koscielny handed Arsenal a valuable three points, to resurrect their faltering top-four hopes. Mourinho claims that Arsenal succeeded against their London rivals, by effectively shutting down Jorginho in midfield, as well as cutting their supply line from the left flank. Speaking on beIN Sports, he said: “I’m not saying Chelsea is an easy team to play against but I think they are an easy team to analyse, you know their principles, their fundamental situations.   “You create great difficulties to Chelsea to build in the first phase and if you close a little bit more their left side with David Luiz and Marcos Alonso and you give the ball to the right side, it is quite difficult for them. “Kante is playing in a po

Silly Mistakes Led To Wasted Opportunity- Marcos Alonso

Silly Mistakes Led To Wasted Opportunity- Marcos Alonso Marcos Alonso says lessons from yesterday’s defeat at Arsenal must be learned quickly with another big London derby on the horizon. We under performed at the Emirates, eventually losing 2-0, although it was Alonso who came closest to scoring for us when he hit the post with a header on the stroke of half-time. The Spaniard also registered our only on-target effort of the evening, saved by Bernd Leno late on. Reflecting on what went wrong in north London, Alonso identified sloppiness in possession as one of the reasons for the defeat. With a decisive Carabao Cup semi-final tie against Tottenham awaiting us on Thursday night he knows our return to form must be swift. ‘We made silly mistakes,’ he said. ‘We provoked them to gain confidence and come to press us because we were making mistakes. In the second half we tried but it was too late and we couldn’t score. ‘When you lose, you learn. We have to analyse the

£100m Price Tag On Eden Hazard Is Nothing- Chelsea Fans React.

£100m Price Tag On Eden Hazard Is Nothing- Chelsea Fans React. Chelsea have set an asking price of £100m+ for playmaker Eden Hazard, according to reports in England. The 27-year-old has 18 months left on his current contract and looks no closer to signing a new one to stay at Stamford Bridge. Despite the fact that Hazard will have just a year remaining on his current deal in the summer, most Blues fans on Twitter think the price tag is too low: Hazard has indicated on multiple occasions that he would be open to moving to Real Madrid but has suggested he would be happy to see out his career with Chelsea if a transfer doesn’t materialize. The Belgian international is likely waiting to see if the La Liga giants make a move for him next summer before deciding on whether to stay at the London club. Hazard has been on top form for the Blues this campaign, having scored 12 goals and provided ten assists in 27 appearances. NO double that not below 160m. — n

The striker looks set to have his season-long loan at Valencia cut short in order to make the move to the Ligue 1 side, who are managed by former Belgium assistant Thierry Henry. Earlier this week, Henry admitted he holds an interest in Batshuayi, who spent two seasons at Marseille before joining Chelsea in 2016. "Michy? I know him, we rubbed shoulders with Belgium, he is a player who can be interesting," Henry said. "But again, nothing is done. You have to be patient. It's important that players know the championship, though." Monaco signed Batshuayi's former Chelsea team-mate Cesc Fabregas on Friday as they bid to preserve
