Don't worry, it is a bloke called Sarri at a club called Chelsea.
The "experts" say it is his job to keep them motivated... I think he has a responsibility to keep them positive, confident & focussed, but there are intangible elements over which he has limited control... Peer pressure, team dynamic & professional pride.
Those boil down to cultural & individual qualities where he only plays a minor role.
My advise would be to impound their Ferraris & get them to catch the bus, it may backfire but ultimately he is paid to manage, not babysit..
I can’t see him managing Chelsea next season, at this rate Sarri would be lucky to see out the rest of the season.
It must be a bloody difficult job trying to motivate multi millionaire celebrities who won’t lose their jobs if things go pear shaped and who will get their money regardless of results, quite honestly apart from professional pride, what do they have to motivate them when they know they can just jet off to China or somewhere and get paid silly money to play in a pub league? They’ve no attachment to their club, to the fans or the country they live in.
The club has lacked a real captain figure. David Luiz is the best bet behind Azpi, really missing Terry especially now Cahill is a fringe player
Wouldn't argue with that, but find it interesting that the two influential names featured are old-skool British bulldogs... without promoting xenophobia, is that maybe an indication of a loss of identity when you have a team of all nations...?

All comes down to the awful youth system. Not giving young players the chance means we would have to buy someone in that motivates the club... something I can only see happening if they love the club and that's only gonna come from someone thats been there long enough to fall in love with it
