During his reign at the Stamford Bridge, Antonio Conte had imposed some strict rules on his players, including an uncompromising diet plan. To some extent, those staunch regulations proved to have a detrimental impact upon the relationship between the players and the manager.
However, a breeze of fresh air is blowing across the London based outfit. As per one of the latest reports by Metro, Chelsea’s new manager Maurizio Sarri has made changes regarding diet and matchday preparations in order to cultivate a better atmosphere in his ranks.
Unlike Conte, Sarri has given much more liberty to his men to eat at the club’s training ground and has loosened the restrictions with respect to nutrition that the Italian had engineered. Besides, the players are now also allowed to link-up at the Stamford Bridge on the day of their home fixture.
This has given the chance to his players to spend more time at their home rather than staying in a hotel in west London the night before their home games during Conte’s tenure. And the latest measures seem to have had an immediate impact along with Sarri’s tactical inputs with Chelsea off to a blistering start in the Premier League.
