And Kepa is happy again at Chelsea

London –

Kepa Arrizabalaga finally back happy in Chelsea. The Spanish goalkeeper can now contribute again to the team.

Kepa has practically been out since the start of last season. The 26-year-old player lost to Eduoard Mendy.

Not without reason Kepa was left out. The world’s most expensive goalkeeper, after being bought for £71.6 million from Athletic Bilbao in 2017, often makes blunders.

Long under Mendy’s shadow, Kepa began to show off. His first striking comeback was seen in the European Super Cup, when he helped Chelsea win on penalties after coming on for Mendy ahead of a high-five.

Then, Kepa was back in good form for Chelsea last weekend, when he came on for Eduoard Mendy the injured. And Kepa can help the Blue beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in the Premier League competition continued.

That performance convinced Tuchel that Kepa Arrizabalaga happy again. The player is said to be unburdened by the price, and is fully focused on the interests of the player Chelsea.

“He seems happy where he is and the role he is playing in this team. He tries and fights for his chances, but you can’t force the situation,” said Tuchel, reported by The Sun.

“Now I feel, in terms of his mindset, he’s here with the composure and positivity he’s trained and he’s getting the results. There’s no need to prove to me that he’s a good goalkeeper. I see him every day.”

“He’s not trying too hard to convince everyone he’s worth the money the club pays. Who cares about the money? It’s paid for and so what now?

Tuchel thinks he needs Mendy and Kepa at the same time. And that was seen last weekend, when Kepa was able to answer the team’s needs when Mendy was injured.

“We have two very strong goalkeepers and we need both. If you need proof, just look at last weekend. He was a key factor in a clean sheet. It’s that simple,” said Tuchel.

“If the money is too high or too low, this measurement does not exist for us. I think this pressure is beyond his business, and it should be because it is not his fault,” explained the German manager.

Kepa Arrizabalaga will still be played when Chelsea against Aston Villa in the English League Cup. If Eduoard Mendy still injured, then Kepa could appear again when Chelsea against Manchester City this weekend.
