Maurizio Sarri spoke follow the draw against Sassuolo: “A coach demands continuity from his team and at this moment we struggle to maintain it, both from a physical and mental point of view: we had very good moments that alternated with difficult moments. It should also be said that we are facing teams that arrive in great shape, such as Atalanta and Sassuolo. We have to solve the problem of these ups and downs, which is a situation that almost all teams are having right now, with few exceptions. If we solve this problem, the path is the right one."
He added: “At times we give the impression of having very high potential, and at other times we seem more vulnerable. After the 2-0, we should have kept Sassuolo in their half of the pitch by holding possession. We, on the other hand, wanted to tear too much, and we widened the spaces. Now we must not do calculations and think game by game.”
The Coach then provided an update on Chiellini: “He looked really good in the last few days, today, he had a hardening in his calf, maybe it was a little early to throw him in, but we need his personality.”
