Maurizio Sarri is a JOKE! His reaction to Kepa row was PATHETIC! Simon Jordan in amazing rant about Chelsea manager
Simon Jordan has laid into Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, branding him a joke and saying his reaction to Kepa Arrizabalagas mutiny in Sundays Carabao Cup final was pathetic.Sarri practically erupted with rage on the sidelines after the Blues goalkeeper refused to be substituted towards the end of the clash against Manchester City.Kepa had been struggling with cramp and Sarri was ready to replace him with number two Willy Caballero, only for the number one to refuse to leave the pitch and decide he was okay to continue.3

Kepa repeatedly screamed ‘NO’ and wagged his finger at the Chelsea bench when the board went up calling him off the pitch

City eventually won a penalty shoot-out to lift the cup, but their win was completely overshadowed by the extraordinary scenes in the Chelsea dugout.Sarri was furious at Kepa for disobeying his orders, and was seen stomping around his technical area, gesturing to staff, tearing at his shirt and even threatening the walk down the tunnel, only for him to change his mind and return to his seat.And in a scathing rant against the Italian, Jordan slammed Sarris behaviour and insisted he is the only one to blame for not being able to control his players.3

Maurizio Sarri was incensed by Kepa’s refusal to leave the pitch

Speaking to talkSPORT host Jim White, the former Crystal Palace owner said: Most of the reaction after the game was empathy towards the manager, but I thought his behaviour on the touchline was nigh on pathetic.If the player doesnt come off when he hooks him, whos that down to? Thats down to the manager!If the player doesnt respect the manager, whos that down to? Thats down to the manager!When I watch him parading around the technical area, pulling his shirt open, storming down the tunnel and then coming back, all because he cant get a player to do as hes bloody told – I thought to myself, youre a joke! And then I see him having to be held back by Rudiger whos the boss here?If Im that manager and I want that player off, I dont care where I am, Im going to march down the touchline until Im directly parallel to where he is and if I have to get a shepherds crook Im going to hook that player off and hes going to come off.Id rather that than the ridiculous histrionics, where hes got Stan Laurel in Gianfranco Zola as his sidekick sitting there going, well I dont know Ollie, I dont know Ollie, what are you going to do?3

Chelsea assistant Gianfranco Zola is baffled as Willy Caballero returns to his seat

I felt it was all very, very poor across the board.The bottom line is in all this is, if your manager doesnt have control over the players in the first place, it isnt actually the players fault, its the managers fault.Hes the person who has got to make sure these players understand that he means what he says and he says what he means.
