Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has told his striker Alvaro Morata to grow in confidence if he is to realize his top form at Chelsea, while praising the forward for his abilities.
The Italian has been at the club for just a little over a month and seen Morata up close, while testing him against preseason opposition and Huddersfield in their first Premier League game of the season.
Morata was a massive failure in the eyes of many Chelsea fans after he scored only 11 goals in the Premier League, only one in the last six months of the season, leaving the fans scratching their heads for answers as to why the club signed him following their loss of Diego Costa last summer to Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea sold Costa to buy Morata.
If you want to laugh more, they sold Matic to buy Bakayoko
Transfer Kevin harts 😂

Morata did not convince his fans during the preseason games especially after he missed a penalty against Arsenal and did not look positive in all the games his side played in, but Sarri remains convinced Morata will come good once his confidence problem is sorted out.
Sarri on Morata: "I am not worried about Morata, Morata is a very great player. I think in this moment he only needs to gain in confidence but he is a great player" #CFC

Sarri thinks Morata maybe lacks confidence and he needs a goal. "He needs to gain confidence but he is improving so I am not worried about him." #CFC
