DBasia.news – Frank Lampard was surprisingly reserved for Arrizabalaga when Chelsea drew 2-2 against Leicester City in the Premier League match. Lampard chose to play Willy Caballero.
This is Willy Caballero’s first starter in the Premier League this season. Previously he was only revealed when Chelsea competed in the FA Cup.
Lampard has a reason for his decision to play the Argentine goalkeeper. He saw the goalkeeper has shown good prospects in the last few days.
“You make decisions every week and every day. There is no easy decision. The decision about the goalkeeper will make you think harder and take more time,” Lampard told BT Sport, Saturday (1/2/2020).
“We must remain competitive. Willy has been training very well and playing well against Hull last week and I decided to keep playing,” he added.
However, playing the former Manchester City goalkeeper must be paid handsomely by Chelsea. Because Caballero made a blunder that resulted in the Blues playing a 2-2 draw.
“For me, it was not his fault. When the ball comes from the top, it is a cross that fails and he tries to reach it and then backs towards the goal because he realizes that he cannot get the ball,” he added.
Caballero’s blunders reinforce the notion that Chelsea has a goalkeeper crisis this season. Previously Kepa Arrizabalaga, who made a fatal blunder and caused the West London club to fail to win in the last three matches.
