FOUR wins from four league matches is an impressive start to his tenure for Maurizio Sarri, but the new Chelsea manager is canny enough not to talk too much about what his side may be capable of.
Goals from Spanish winger Pedro and Eden Hazard yesterday saw off a tough Bournemouth side in this enjoyable contest played out in brilliant sunshine in west London. However, Sarri remained balanced in his assessment of his team’s good start to the season.
“At the moment, I’m very happy with my players,” said the Chelsea boss. “They improved very well during the week and in matches. I’m really very happy to have 12 points from four matches, but I always think we can do more. We can improve. Especially in the performance, of course.”
Joao Pedro’s emotional goals against Fluminense captured the magic of an international club competition. But even as fans bring colour and passion, the Club World Cup’s deeper issues loom large, writes JAMES NALTON
