Enzo Maresca made a judgment to Robert Sanchez after the roar in the defeat of Chelsea of ​​Man City

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca insisted that he still “believe” goalkeeper Robert Sanchez after a catastrophic game during Saturday’s defeat to Manchester City, but did not commit to blindly sticking to the Spaniard prone to mistakes.

Sanchez did not cover in glory for City’s equalizing hit at the Etihad Stadiumnot managing to close Matheus Nunes before the ball reached Josko Guardiol on the threshold of halftime. Still, the goalkeeper saved his best kicks for the second half.

After a bizarre outbreak from his space in the interrupted attempt to intercept the long ball over the top for Erling HaalandSanchez was caught doubtful whether he needed to pull to his goal line or run toward the ball. In the end, neither did neither, and City’s ruthless number nine expertly rushed him.

Hardly this is the first Sanchez’s wrong step – no Premier League player has made more mistakes that have directly led to goals of five mistakes of 27 -year -olds this season.

When thinking about 3-1 defeatThe match in which Chelsea was convincingly led after only three minutes, Maresca sighed: “We must believe Robert, but at the same moment the first to be aware that he is wrong is Robert. Now we are one whole week [to train] And we will see the reaction and decide for the next game. “

The Italian menu added: “Robert is sure to be fully aware that he must be better. He was completely aware of after the game, he knows perfectly.

“The good thing is that he is the first to know he has to be better.”

Maresca was ready to defend his goalkeeper from the criticism of this season, but warned that the Spanish international “is still far, far away, far from where I want to be” in the days before the weekend trip to Etihad.

Blue has been playing Danish shooter Filip Jorgensen in Cup competitions this season this season. 22-year-old Summer Novak Villarreal appeared in just two Premier League Games this season – and failed to preserve a clean net against Southampton or Ipswich Town.

Chelsea was conditionally connected With the movement of goalkeeper Borussia Dortmund Gregor Kobel, although this month it is not expected that there will be an agreement. After Sanchez’s last full mistake, Maresca may be inclined to look for a new number one before later.
