Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has issued a warning to goalkeeper Robert Sanchez amidst reports of the club’s interest in signing Villarreal’s Filip Jorgensen. Maresca’s comments come as the summer transfer window remains open, leaving Sanchez’s future at Stamford Bridge uncertain. Despite the speculation, Sanchez believes he is the right fit for Maresca’s style of play and is determined to compete for the No.1 spot.
Speaking after Chelsea’s pre-season draw against Wrexham AFC, Maresca praised Sanchez’s performance and emphasized the importance of the goalkeeper position in their desired style of play. While he did not directly address the rumors surrounding Jorgensen, Maresca expressed his satisfaction with Sanchez’s contributions to the team.
Chelsea currently have four goalkeepers, including the injured Djordje Petrovic, and Maresca acknowledged that anything can happen during the transfer window. This suggests that the club may still be open to potential changes in the squad.
Meanwhile, former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher criticized Chelsea’s decision to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino, who has been replaced by Maresca. Carragher described the move as “ridiculous” and added it to the list of questionable decisions made by Chelsea’s owners.
Lesley Ugochukwu, who scored for Chelsea against Wrexham, shared his thoughts on working with Maresca. He praised the new head coach’s ideas and explained that the team is still adapting to his preferred style of play. Ugochukwu highlighted Maresca’s emphasis on remaining calm with the ball and progressing forward, while also trusting the process and avoiding rushing decisions.
Overall, the situation surrounding Robert Sanchez’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain. While Maresca has expressed his satisfaction with the goalkeeper’s performances, the ongoing transfer window leaves room for potential changes. The team continues to adapt to Maresca’s coaching style, with players like Ugochukwu embracing his ideas and working towards implementing them on the field.
