Chelsea football club head coach, Enzo Maresca, has broken silence about Robert Sanchez’s awful performance against Manchester City.
On saturday, Manchester City Incredibly came back from 1-0 early goal scrapped in by Madueke, utilised through Manchester City’s reckless defending at the early phase of the game to clinch a 3-1 comfortable victory.
Erling Haaland bagging yet another heat performance against Chelsea navigated through yet another dominance that defines his rare abilities. However, Chelsea’s Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez deployed a disastrous approach to the game, yielding the opportunity Erling Haaland pounced with a rapid response, sealing the game amid Chelsea’s quest for the winning goal. Optimism would wreck to the odd point after yet another reckless defending gifted Foden the space to fire the ball at the back of the net.
Perhaps, in the space of all the peak moments of the game, Robert Sanchez was the vital status of mockery and criticism following the view of creepy decisions that cost Chelsea the game.
While Erling Haaland and Chalobah battled for the ball, Sanchez astonishingly sprinted widely. He struggled with his decision, leaving a wide space away from his position, Haaland utilised by curving the ball through the left corner of the goalpost.
Robert Sanchez’s awful performance became the vital point of the press. As expected, Enzo Maresca was queried by the press about his take on the disastrous performance. When asked about his view on the situation and how he approached him in the dressing room. Enzo opined that he is aware of Sanchez’s mistakes, defending and assuring that he will improve.
He also maintained that he will remain Chelsea’s first choice goalkeeper despite the reputation he had built around goalkeeping error.
He admitted to knowing about the mistakes while still attatched to defending the Chelsea Goalkeeper.
The goalkeeping crisis has been a toll Chelsea has battled for two consecutive seasons despite having over six active Goalkeepers, including Petrovic.
"Robert is completely aware he has to do better, we trust him but we'll decide for the next game" 🗣️
