Pep Guardiola Says Maurizio Sarri Needs Chelsea to 'Really Believe' in His Style

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri needs the club's owners to have belief in him following the Premier League showdown between the two teams on Sunday.

City romped to a 6-0 victory against the Blues, storming out of the blocks and going four goals ahead inside 25 minutes. Chelsea looked to be attacking at the Etihad Stadium and City were able to make use of the space they left to devastating effect.

After the game Guardiola gushed over his own team's display and also said the Chelsea higher-ups need to have faith that Sarri will be able to turn things around, per Sam Lee of Goal:
