David Luiz insists the Chelsea players are behind manager Maurizio Sarri following last night’s Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City.
Jorginho and Luiz both missed penalties that saw City claim a 4-3 win at Wembley.
Reports prior to the game suggested the result would impact Sarri’s future at Stamford Bridge.
While that remains unclear, the Italian can rest assured about his player’s trust, according to Luiz.
“I love the way he plays, the way he is as a man,” Luiz said at Wembley Stadium. “He is a fantastic person so, of course, the players are with him. For me, it was more difficult to miss the penalty that didn’t get him the trophy than it was for me. I wish I had given that to Sarri.
“The coach has the power over the group. He has our respect. People can think in a negative way or a positive way. It is about our lives, it is always like that. People are negative, people are positive, people are happy, they are sad.
“For me, there is not a problem here for that. We all believe in his philosophy, we all believe in the way he wants us to play. That’s why we did a great game against the best team in Europe at the moment. Apart from that, it was a misunderstanding and we all want to do what is best for Chelsea.”
