Chelsea Bend Spurs, Willy Caballero Praises Kepa Arrizabalaga

DBasia.news –  The London Derby at Stamford Bridge in Week 28 of the Premier League on Thursday (28/2) early morning Western Indonesian Time, won by Chelsea over Tottenham Hotspur.

In addition to the Blues who managed to win 2-0 through Pedro Rodriguez’s goal in the 57th minute and Kieran Trippier’s own goal in the 84th minute, public attention was also directed at Kepa Arrizabalaga being benched by Maurizio Sarri. Another teammate, Willy Caballero was also believed to be a starter.

As is known, in the previous match, namely the League Cup final against Manchester City, the Spanish goalkeeper did refuse to be replaced by Caballero ahead of the extra time round. This then angered Maurizio Sarri.

Although both have stated that the events at Wembley Stadium were a misunderstanding and Kepa has also received a fine from the club, the player who is also the most expensive goalkeeper in the world must receive concessions on the bench in this match.

Responding to the backing of Kepa, Willy Caballero finally spoke up. In addition to making sure his relationship and other players with Kepa were fine, the Argentine goalkeeper also considered that if his teammate had learned a lot from the big mistake he made in the match against The Citizens.

“I feel satisfied because I can record a clean sheet and appear as a starter. I and Kepa have also talked about what happened in the match against Manchester City. The good news is that this is over,” Caballero said.

“Kepa was fantastic in this match. He and gave full support to me and had learned a lot from the events that happened in the previous match. Likewise with the other players. The team also showed progress in performance,” he added.

The victory over Spurs felt very important for Roman Abramovich’s club, although it still ranks sixth, the chance to return to the top four is still not closed, because they still have one match that hasn’t been played.
