Antonio Rudiger insists Chelsea’s dismal recent results have not been caused by Maurizio Sarri’s tactics.

Head coach Sarri is under intense pressure amid reports that he is close to being sacked.

Chelsea fans turned on Sarri during recent defeats and there has been much criticism of his style of play,

However, speaking at a media conference on Wednesday, Blues defender Rudiger played down suggestions that Sarri’s approach is the cause of the problem.

“I think right now it’s about confidence,” he said. “It’s not a tactical aspect from my point of view. It’s confidence and under-performing.”
