    Towards the end of the session, Sarri was seen storming off the pitch looking frustrated, throwing his hat on the ground before kicking it.<\/p>\n

    It heaped more scrutiny on the Italian, whose future at Chelsea in currently in doubt with the club reportedly lining up Frank Lampard as a summer replacement.<\/p>\n

    At first it was suggested Sarri’s huff was due to a confrontation between David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain, though that was eventually shut down by the Italian.<\/p>\n

    And, speaking ahead of the final, Sarri confirmed the real reason for his frustration.<\/p>\n

    “I think you were not able to understand yesterday,” he told BT Sport.<\/p>\n

    “If my players are really aggressive in training, I’m happy, not disappointed.<\/p>\n

    “I was disappointed because I try to try our solutions on set-pieces. But after 15 minutes of training, the cameras were there.<\/p>\n

    “And so we were disappointed because of the situation, not the players.”<\/p>\n
