Maurizio Sarri speaks. “Of course the performance in the final against Manchester City was really very important for us, for the confidence,” he says, asked about Chelsea getting into gear of late. “Results can change the atmosphere in the dressing room.” Of the personnel changes, the Italian adds: “We had to change because the last week was very harmful for us. In the last match, in the last 20 minutes we were really very tired mentally and physically so I decided to change six players.” Of Dynamo, Sarri says: “They played a very good group stage and they are a very young, and very dangerous team with very fast wingers.”
