Maurizio Sarri has described Chelsea as a team of individuals, but effective, players compared to his former side Napoli who he says "could all play well" together.

Sarri made the comments during his official unveiling as Juventus' new coach on Thursday morning after being asked about his one-season spell at Stamford Bridge.

Despite leading Chelsea to the Europa League title, the League Cup final and a third-placed finish in the Premier League Blues fans were not afraid to express their frustrations with the, at times, disjointed and dull displays of football from the team.

Sarri always insisted it would take him time to successfully implement his "Sarri-ball" style of play, which led his former team Napoli to two second-placed Serie A finishes secured in entertaining fashion.

And reflecting back on the differences between Chelsea and Napoli, Sarri told reporters: "Chelsea is a team made up of players, probably who have a higher technical level but with individual characteristics.

"They have players who play on the flank, want to play one v ones so from that point of view, the football they play is less fluid, less smooth.

"Compared to Napoli where they could all play well [together], at Chelsea there were seven or eight players playing individualistically. They were effective, solid and that was so not so easy to defeat."

Sarri ended his short stint at Chelsea having led the club to the Europa League title, the League Cup final and a third-placed finish in the Premier League.

But it wasn't enough to stop Chelsea fans from expressing their frustration toward the 60-year-old during matches, although Sarri insists he has emerged stronger from the criticism he received in England by supporters and the media alike.

"I arrived from the lower divisions, from Empoli to Napoli then Chelsea, they were all sceptical, the supporters were sceptical," he said.

"I thought there would be less scepticism but it's normal there is scepticism and criticism. There is one way to remove it, to win - that's the only way. To entertain and obtain results. I don't see any other way."

He added: "The world of the English media is well known to everyone - there are some great newspapers and also some tabloids, whose quality is lower.

"All the criticism, attacks and pressure you have to undergo will strengthen you and become stronger."
