Sarri said the performance resolved the team’s recent problems. “A problem was the motivation, and the other problem was that the players stopped to have fun on the pitch. So I think that now, with this performance and the result, we can find again enthusiasm. So it’s very important.”
Hazard, he said, “played fantastically, a wonderful match”. When asked why he had moved removed him from the ‘false nine’, he added: “I think the position is not a big problem. I think in this match, we played with another mind. With another motivation. With another determination. So I think that his qualities are more important than his position.”
