I Am Still Waiting For The Best Morata – Maurizio Sarri

Life has not been easy for Spain forward Alvaro Morata came to play in the English Premier League. He couldn’t live up to the expectations in the first season with Chelsea and it also resulted in an exclusion from the World Cup squad.
The Chelsea Manager hopes Morata will rise up in the next season.
But the new Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri hopes Morata will find his form back and waiting to see the best version of him.
Morata’s future has been clouded by uncertainty all summer after a disappointing first season in English football. He scored just just three times in the final five months of the campaign.
Speaking after the match in the International Champions Cup, Sarri insisted that Morata is in his plans.
“I’m still waiting for the best Morata. In the first match [against Perth Glory] Morata did not play very well, in Australia. But tonight, especially in the first 30 minutes, he improved a lot. I am satisfied and I am very confident in him for the future.”
Sarri also revealed that he had been encouraged by Chelsea’s performance. But he wants them to speed up their possession game even further as they build towards the start of the new season.
“So far, I am satisfied. I am of course waiting for the other players from the World Cup but these players gave me total availability. So now I am satisfied. I’ve seen in the match something that we tried during the sessions. So far, so good.”
The new manager also said that he already started loving life in Chelsea.
“I like the sound: ‘Sarri-ball, Sarri-ball, Sarri-ball’. But I don’t know the meaning, really. Because we move the ball very quickly? This evening we moved the ball well, but I think not at the right speed.”
Chelsea will face Manchester City in the FA Community Shield 5 August.
