‘Sarriball’ was a term engraved for the style of possession football that this former Napoli coach reflected in his doings. The current Chelsea manager has made the kind of changes in the Chelsea lineup that even Antonio Conte couldn’t have thought of. By producing one of the most efficient midfield mechanics, obliterating the opposition defence with his ‘width based’ attacking lineup, and combine aerial plays with ground passes, the Italian made sure that he grabbed those 9 points in the month of August, replaying the artistries of his Napoli days.
Maurizio Sarri has given a chance to every single person on the Chelsea bench to go out there and make a point, adding consistency and encouragement in the minds of the players. The experience of managing 18 different teams over the course of nearly 28 years has made him prominent, that a team like Chelsea is all that he needed. All for the sayings, it can be now confirmed that he is here to stay at the Stamford Bridge! However, a long season of both Premier League and Europa league up ahead, his real test is about to happen; but as this month closes, he is the true contender for his performance as a manager.
Meanwhile, a man who has a plan for everything that he does, Klopp has evolved Liverpool into a new era of pacy, counter-attacking, ‘Rock and Roll’ style of football, delivering the likes of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and of course, Mohammed Salah. The former Borussia Dortmund manager has had his shares of success in every means this season. Making Sadio Mane the centrepiece of his attacking lineup and Salah the apparent playmaker, the ‘German Genius’ tops the Premier League table without a shadow of a doubt. Klopp has revolutionised the style of football at the Anfield, as he plans to do so against a very succulent Leicester City this weekend.
After his performances this month, he now looks forward to wrapping it with another easy victory, making him the top contender for the manager of the month, the question being: will he?
Talking of Tottenham, even though the ‘A system of no trophies’ is what this former Argentine International is labelled with, Pochettino is eventually a manager who has drawn attractions from not only Real Madrid but Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona to assume the mantle of the manager. This season, the Spurs head coach has been on the run, completing 3 successful matches, the recent one against Manchester United, making his squad of ‘starlings’ play the kind of football that nobody can predict. From Kane being the target man to Delle Alli and Christian Eriksen being the playmakers, the former Southampton coach simply knows what his job is all about. Winning matches and producing world-class players, Mauricio Pochettino is a marvel, a gem and a trump card for the current Tottenham Hotspur lineup.
His trophy cabinet may not be full, but that does not contradict the fact that he is not only one of the best managers in the league but also in the world. This season, the Spurs look more resilient than ever, as they face a much competitive Watford side on Sunday; Be the cards in his pocket, he can truly be called the most consistent manager of this month!
