“Bad behaviour, I don’t like him” – Jamie Redknapp blasts Chelsea player after losing Carabao Cup to Liverpool
Following Chelsea’s defeat to Liverpool in Carabao Cup final yesterday, Jamie Redknapp revealed he was far from pleased with Kepa Arrizabalaga’s attitude.
However, the Blues goalkeeper missed a crucial penalty to hand Liverpool the trophy and Redknapp has taken offense with the star’s attitude following the loss.
Speaking after the match, Redknapp told the press via Mirror: “I hope it puts to bed the substitutions now of putting goalkeepers on. Edouard Mendy is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and you bring on Kepa instead of him, ridiculous.”
“I didn’t like his (Kepa’s) behaviour when the penalties were being taken and then he took one of the worst penalties you’ve ever seen. I don’t like it, I don’t understand why you do it. You have one of the best goalkeepers in the world, he should’ve stayed in there in the first place,” he added.
However, Liverpool now look set to push for a double, with the English giants still looking strong in the Champions League. They also have a chance of a treble if they close the gap between them and Manchester City in the Premier League.
Chelsea will have their Club World Cup trophy as a consolation this season, as well as their UEFA Super Cup trophy. The Blues still have a chance to win the Champions League, although the Premier League looks out of reach for them now.
