Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green on calling Sarri out last season:
"I told him, "You have no plan B. You're a transactional kind of manager. The players in the group are not the kind to speak to you like this — they care very much but are scared to say something to you, like I am. I don't care because what are you going to do — drop me?"'
'I spoke for 15 minutes. A lot of players said afterwards that they enjoyed me saying that: "You said what I wanted to say but I couldn't say it". Obviously, if they had, it could have affected their place in the team or their future at the club...
'Training was very regimented. I remember Olivier Giroud and I sat down and figured out how many times we'd done exactly the same session. We worked out that over a course of the season, there were only 18 days where we hadn't done the same thing."
