Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel will offer Kepa Arrizabalaga an opportunity to feel important in the team by starting this Thursday against Second Division Barnsley in the round of 16 of the FA Cup.
“Kepa will play tomorrow,” Tuchel confirmed at a press conference about the Basque goalkeeper.
The circumstances of his signing have put a lot of pressure on him
“From the outside we saw that there was a problem with his sporting situation, perhaps because the circumstances of his signing have put a lot of pressure on him. From the inside I see that he is a good boy. He has a great personality, he is hardworking and with a lot of quality. So he is good for him that he has a reboot. A fresh start for him, “added Tuchel.
Kepa, international with the Spanish national team, has lost his ownership at Chelsea to Edouard Mendy, who arrived in the last summer market.
You just have to prove your quality, no more, no less
“Kepa is a very clear and very open boy. He does everything possible to impress in training. He doesn’t have to show me or anyone that he’s going to start for Spain in the summer. He just has to show his quality. No more, no less We have to contain expectations because I don’t think he will score a goal tomorrow and leave his door to zero, “concluded Tuchel.
