Robert Sanchez was unhappy after what Chelsea did last season
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Reports have indicated that Chelsea’s actions last season left goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in tears. According to the Daily Mail, Sanchez was deeply affected when Chelsea brought in goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts to Stamford Bridge after sacking Thomas Tuchel.
Sanchez, who has recently made a move to Chelsea, is now in contention for the role of the club’s regular goalkeeper. The potential departure of his compatriot, Kepa Arrizabalaga, to Bayern Munich could further open the door for Sanchez to claim the starting position.
While Kepa Arrizabalaga is one of Chelsea’s longest-serving players, he is reportedly open to the idea of joining Bayern Munich. Manager Thomas Tuchel is believed to support the club’s interest in Kepa, even though Kepa wasn’t a regular under Tuchel during their time together at Stamford Bridge.
The emotional response from Sanchez is connected to the departure of goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts from Brighton. Sanchez’s successful period as Brighton’s number one goalkeeper under Graham Potter was reportedly attributed to his close working relationship with Roberts. With Sanchez now at Chelsea, the reunion with Roberts is seen as a positive factor that influenced the club’s decision to pursue him.
As Kepa’s potential departure looms and Chelsea explores strengthening various positions, including midfield, Sanchez’s emotional connection to the goalkeeping coach may play a role in his quest to secure the starting goalkeeper position at Stamford Bridge.
