Chelsea Goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga Apologises To Former Manager, Sarri by ochuski(m): 9:52am On Jul 27, 2021 |
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea's goalkeeper, has expressed regret to the club's previous manager, Maurizio Sarri, for not understanding him during the club's Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City in 2019. This was said by Kepa after finally speaking about the unusual situation that occurred during Chelsea's Carabao Cup final defeat to Man City at Wembley Stadium two years ago. After 120 minutes of goalless football, Chelsea was defeated 4-3 on penalties by Man City. When Kepa fell down injured late in the second half of extra time, Sarri called on goalkeeper Willy Caballero to replace him, but the Spain international refused to come off, saying he was fine. The altercation caused a brief halt in play before referee Jon Moss confronted Sarri and resumed play. After more than two years, Kepa has written a thorough account of the incident for The Players' Tribune, admitting that he should have followed Sarri's orders. “Everything was a big misunderstanding,” Kepa explained. He continued, “In extra time, Manchester City dominated the game, and there was barely any time left until penalties. I felt something in my leg after making a save and phoned for physio to make sure it wasn't anything serious. Above all, I wanted to make sure that we could all catch our breath as a group. All of a sudden, I noticed that Maurizio Sarri had sent Willy Caballero to warm up. He assumed I wouldn't be able to continue. My main goal, right or not, had been to waste time in order to assist the team. I didn't have any major issues that would prevent me from continuing to play. I attempted to communicate that I was fine, that I wasn't hurt. But, given that we were at Wembley Stadium in front of almost 80,000 people, Sarri was certain to misunderstand me. I should have come off when the fourth official lifted the board, and I'm sorry I didn't. I was wrong, and I apologize to everyone involved, for Maurizio Sarri, whom I appeared to have belittled in public, for Willy, a teammate and a consummate professional, and for all my teammates and Chelsea fans who had to put up with everything - all the noise generated during the game and in the days that followed. I had a conversation with the boss, and we discussed how we each saw the situation and cleared the air.” Source Chelsea Goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga Apologises To Former Manager, Maurizio Sarri Related News Chelsea Prepare Bid For West Ham United Midfielder Chelsea And Borussia Dortmund In Pursuit Of Sassuolo Attacker Arsenal Agree To Chelsea's Striker Demands Peart-Harris Leaves Chelsea For Brentford Chelsea's Second Day Training Camp In Dublin (Pictures) Transfer News: Chelsea Is Likely To Offer A New Deal To Defender After He Impressed The Club During Training Transfer News: Eden Hazard offered To Chelsea Top 10 Premier League Clubs That Have Made Most Money From Transfer Sales Chelsea's 10 Biggest Transfer Flops Since 2000: From Adrian Mutu To Juan Sebastian Veron Transfer News: Chelsea's Marc Guéhi joins Crystal Palace Confirmed: Chelsea Hand Armando Broja New 5-Years Contract Transfer News: Chelsea Considering Lewandowski After Failing To Secure Erling Haaland Romelu Lukaku's Camp Gives Inter Milan Assurances Amidst Transfer Reports With Chelsea And Man City Chelsea Transfer News: Olivier Giroud Set To Complete Move To AC Milan For £855,000 Initial Fee
