Maurizio Sarri responded to the question about whether he fancied a cigarette during a tense end to the game against Arsenal

Since Maurizio Sarri joined Chelsea from Napoli, he has been asked about how he plans to deal with his smoking habit with a ban in place at every football stadium in England. When asked whether he fancied a cigarette during a tense end to the match against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, Sarri responded: “No I needed half-time and the first half to end, not a cigarette." "I am going to stop for just one or two years then I will start again. "Inside there were 15 minutes that were horrible. We lost ground, we were not able to press, we were not able to defend, we were really in trouble. I think in the second half, we did very well from our mental point of view. "It was really very hard to answer about the last part of the first half. I prefer to speak about the other 75 minutes, it is better. I remember better the good things instead of the worst."
