“It’s clear he cost us” “I think I will drop him against Southampton” – Enzo Maresca on Chelsea star after shock Aston Villa defeat
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has backed goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen following his costly error in Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa, emphasising the unique pressure that comes with playing in goal.
“The keeper position is a delicate one. The striker can miss the goal and sometimes it doesn’t look so important but when the keeper makes a mistake, it’s always clear,” Maresca explained, acknowledging the scrutiny goalkeepers face compared to outfield players.
Despite Jorgensen’s mistake proving decisive, Maresca stressed the importance of unity within the squad as Chelsea aim to bounce back from yet another frustrating result.
“We need to support each other, stay strong and work hard. In two days, we have one more game at home and hopefully we can finally win in front of our fans,” the Chelsea boss added
