David Luiz insists that the Chelsea players are fully behind Maurizio Sarri despite a rocky few weeks for the Blues.

Chelsea managed to get back to winning ways with a 2-1 victory at Malmo last night in the Europa League, which came off the back of the dreadful 6-0 loss to Manchester City last weekend.

Sarri admitted that he held hour-long clear-the-air talks after the defeat at the Etihad Stadium as he tried to find answers to why it went so wrong against the current Premier League champions.

And Luiz revealed that Sarri had asked the players whether they believes in what he is trying to implement at the club.

Asked if the players fully believed in 'Sarri-ball', Luiz said: "Yes, because we have had many meetings already asking if someone doesn't believe, they can say. Nobody said anything," Sarri said. "It’s because everyone believes [in it].

"I think it is part of the process. We are doing what he wants us to do and we are trying to improve.

"We lost against maybe the best team in the world at the moment in Manchester City. They were better than us from the beginning to the end.

"We lost a few matches because it is part of the process. The teams that are at the top of the table now are ones with managers who have been there for more than three years.

"The most important thing is for us to keep our philosophy, to believe in what we are doing. We did that tonight (against Malmo), we were trying to play from the beginning to the end.

"[We have] An amazing future [under Sarri]."
