Since I have been watching football I haven't seen something as disappointing as what I saw during Chelsea and Manchester City match yesterday. Such a barbaric act by Keppa could just be a reflection that the players are beginning to lose respect for the coach.
I do not only blame Keppa but Azpicueta for the poo that happened. A captain like Terry could have walked him out of the pitch but Azpicueta did nothing and just stood there looking like a lost soul 😁
Sarri is getting weak, confused and indecisive. When your player is beginning to stand his ground against your command then it means the coach is already losing his respect. Maybe because Sarri is up for probation due to his poor performance lately.
No matter what, your manager is your manager and you should respect his decision on the pitch, but this is the first time in a long time that we are seeing the player power live.
The substitute is a better penalty stopper than Keppa but he refused to leave because he feels he can do it better.
As much as Sarri probably wanted to delay the play but such an act should be totally frowned upon by Chelsea. Once a player is up for substitution but refuses to go off, the referee has no choice than to continue the match because the one on the pitch needs to go outside before the new player can come on.
Kepa's behaviour is a disgrace to Chelsea, and a total lack of respect to not only the coach but his fellow team mates, fans and officials. But I really liked the way Sarri handled the issue even though he couldn't hide his anger
What an embarrassing act!
