Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has defended goalkeeper Robert Sanchez over his style of play. Which often results in mistakes when he plays with his feet and short passes.
The Spanish goalkeeper has conceded 11 goals in his first nine Premier League games this season. Keeping two clean sheets and saving one penalty against Bournemouth UFABET
Although in the home game, winning Newcastle 2-1. He did not show any mistakes, but the media tried to ask about Sanchez’s play. Which the Italian manager confirmed that this type of play came from his own orders.
“He does a lot of good things in the game as well. At the end of the day, that’s football. I’m the one who lets Robert play like that and Robert will play like that.” Maresca said.
“If Robert makes a mistake, it’s not Robert’s problem. It’s my fault because I asked him to play like that. I’m very happy with Robert and the way he plays, playing from the back.”
“With every set-piece he plays and he gives the ball to Noni (Maueke) and Pedro (Neto), sometimes it’s a mistake but it doesn’t change the way we play.”
In a fatalistic sense, Maresca is quite correct that Bob’s mistakes could end up being his mistakes. After all, if results turn south, it’s the manager’s head that will be on the chopping block first.
