Maurizio Sarri described himself as a "dreamer" and called on Chelsea to show patience in him and his methods on Friday.
The 60-year-old was speaking after a 4-0 loss at Bournemouth - Chelsea's worst Premier League result in over 22 years - and ahead of Saturday's clash with bottom club Huddersfield.
Sarri has no plans to alter his favoured 4-3-3 formation with Jorginho as a central playmaker and pointed to the example of Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, who had a challenging start at Anfield before leading a title challenge to Manchester City and Tottenham this season.
"The situation is very clear. English football is in the hands of these teams because they had a plan and they were patient," Sarri said.
"I want to remember that in the first season Klopp and Liverpool were in the middle of the table.
"I am a dreamer, I want to play my football."
Sarri refuses to compromise on his footballing principles - or even to have a contingency plan.
"Why? First of all, I want to do very well the plan A, I think," he added.
"I don't want to change something that at the moment doesn't work very well. First of all, I want to see my football played very well, then we can go to change something.
"Everybody 10 years ago knew very well Barcelona, but Barcelona won everything because Barcelona played very well their football.
"First of all, I want to play very well my football. Then I can change."
Chelsea are fifth entering this weekend's fixtures, behind Arsenal on goal difference, but are in next month's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, at the end of a week which sees them play Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round and Malmo in the Europa League last-32 second leg.
Sarri was asked if the job was more difficult than he anticipated.
The former Napoli boss said: "Probably, yes. But I knew very well it's very difficult because here the level is very high.
"It's very difficult because this team played another football (under predecessor Antonio Conte). It's very difficult because they won (playing) another football. So it's very difficult. We can do it I think."
