Chelsea news: Brendan Rodgers warns Maurizio Sarri tough love no longer works with modern players
Brendan Rodgers has urged Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri to reconsider his approach after the Italian claimed he struggles to motivate his players.The Blues suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Wednesday night – the club’s heaviest Premier League loss since 1996.After the game, Sarri revealed he locked his players in the dressing room for an hour-long inquest, but he still couldn’t understand why his side performed so badly.And Celtic boss Rodgers believes the Italian’s struggles may be a result of a change in football culture.2

Sarri couldn’t watch at times during the painful defeat

Speaking toAlan Brazil and Dean Saunders on Thursday’s Sports Breakfast, the former Chelsea coach said:When I started coaching over 20 years ago it was very different.I always think with players you can still tell them, but the world and society has changed and that means football has changed too and players are now more protected.Years ago, when you guys were playing, youd have worked with managers who sometimes to be clear had to be very harsh, but you took that on. You took that on and you probably said to yourself, Im going to show them that Im better than that. Whereas now, and this is not all players because Ive worked with some brilliant lads who you can be harsh with, but a lot of players will take it differently now.The culture is also now much more diverse and in their culture they might not have that.Its becoming much more difficult, but you have to adapt to a manager and thats very important.Bournemouth struck four times in the second-half to embarrass the Blues and knock them out of the top four on goal difference.2

Rodgers had some advice for Sarri

Sarri said he did not feel under pressure but was instead “frustrated” and offered an apology to supporters when he was asked about their reaction to Gonzalo Higuain being replaced.“In this moment I feel frustrated,” he added.“Not pressure, I am frustrated because I didn’t see the sign of my work so I am frustrated. We have only to say sorry to our fans because we can lose, of course, every match we can lose, but not in this way, we need to solve the problem and we need to understand where the problem is.”
