Frank Lampard has backed the work Maurizio Sarri is doing at Chelsea and believes the Italian manager does not benefit from the regular use of the term "Sarriball" to describe his style.
Sarri has endured a mixed debut season at Stamford Bridge. He oversaw a 12-game unbeaten run in the Premier League from the start of the campaign, which saw Chelsea emerge as early title contenders.
However, they have since lost seven times and sit sixth in the English top flight, three points off the top four.
Back in February, the former Napoli manager looked to be on the brink of being sacked after heavy defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City were followed by an FA Cup loss at home to Manchester United, after which his predictability was heavily criticised.
