David Luiz has revealed that not one Chelsea player has complained about coach Maurizio Sarri’s tactics during crisis talks this season and believes the Italian has a great future at Stamford Bridge.

Sarri’s position at Chelsea is in doubt after a series of bad results, but some of the pressure was eased following a 2-1 win against Malmo in the Europa League on Thursday.

The victory came just four days after the club suffered a 6-0 loss at Manchester City, which was the club’s worst Premier League defeat.

Chelsea held a series of team meetings at the training ground earlier in the week as they looked to get their season back on track. Similar frank discussions were also held after disappointing losses to Tottenham, Arsenal and Bournemouth.

The Blues have struggled on a regular basis to make Sarri’s 4-3-3 system work over the last few months, which has led to them dropping to sixth in the Premier League.

But Luiz claims no-one has asked the Italian to abandon his game-plan. When asked if the squad still have faith in Sarri’s style of play, the Brazil defender explained: “Yes, because we have had many meetings already asking if someone doesn’t believe, they can say. But nobody said anything. It’s because everyone believes (in it).

“Do we believe there is still a good future with this manager? Yes, an amazing future. I have played in big clubs for many, many years. When you win it is good, but when you lose nobody is going to be happy and the pressure is going to be there.

“We are working together and we work for them (the fans). We will try to make them happy and we will do everything we can to try to make them happy.

Luiz is recognised as one of the key leaders in the dressing room and is also one of Sarri’s most trusted lieutenants.

The 31-year-old has been busy talking with the rest of the squad since that dismal loss at Etihad Stadium to remind them that the season can still be a success.

He added: “I think we have to be positive and think about what we can do now because the past is the past – we cannot change it. We have to do things that we can do now.

“You have to have motivation already when you play for a big club. If you don’t have motivation to play for a big club, you cannot play.

“It was a tough game for us against Manchester City, we lost but we have to keep going, carry on because we have many games to come.”

Chelsea’s next fixture is the FA Cup Fifth Round tie at home to Manchester United on Monday and Luiz is fully aware of the task they face.

Manchester United appointed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after sacking Jose Mourinho in December and the club won 10 or his first 11 matches in charge.

They lost for the first time under the former striker against Paris Saint Germain earlier this week,, but Luiz doesn’t feel that will have a big impact on them.

He said: “Even before (Solskjaer) they were a great team, with a great manager. Mourinho tried to do everything, for the best of Manchester United but they decided to change.

“Solskjaer has come in and he is doing amazing. He is a great coach but he also has great players. United have been playing the same way also, many players understood his philosophy and they are trying to enjoy.”
