Abracadabra! Potter changes Kepa’s fate

Jakarta

Situation Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea past a bad time, until Thomas Tuchel fired and Graham Potter to come. Potter’s presence and the support of the universe awakened Kepa.

Kepa Arrizabalaga has been sidelined at Chelsea after a series of mistakes. Since the 2020/2021 season, the world’s most expensive goalkeeper has become the second choice behind Edouard Mendy.

In two seasons, Kepa’s opportunities have been very limited and they have played mostly in tournaments such as the English League Cup and the FA Cup. The 28-year-old goalkeeper has only played 29 times in two seasons.

But his fortunes have changed this season. Graham Potter’s arrival plus Edouard Mendy’s injury represented a new opportunity for Kepa and he responded with great conviction.

Kepa Arrizabalaga has kept a clean sheet five times in nine games so far. His performances also helped Potter get off to a good start by being unbeaten with Chelsea in eight games.

“The statistics are incredible and without him, yes, Chelsea would be very different, no doubt. But you know when people ask, what’s the point of changing coach? Here is the proof,” said the former goalkeeper of Manchester United and Denmark Peter Schmeichel a Astro Stadium quoted Metro.

Schmeichel appreciated Potter, who was able to lift Kepa Arrizabalaga’s confidence. After two difficult seasons, Kepa is starting to get to the best level of him again.

“It is not related to past performances, and we have seen it with the selection of his team, in fact he has always been general. He came with a clear vision and changed the destiny of a player, Kepa.”

“Kepa has responded very well, he has shown us that he has an incredibly strong mindset, which is like having 50% of the skills of a goalkeeper. How strong is he with sound, can he respond to pressure, can he recover from mistakes-mistakes?”

“Goalkeepers are focused on that, not too much on saves. At this level you have to be able to do it, it’s all about recovering from situations that don’t go well,” concluded Schmeichel.
