Lampard and Kepa's substitution: “It is an election due to its recent state”

There is a 'Kepa case' at Chelsea. The problem you have Frank Lampard with the Spanish goal in goal Chelsea it is more than evident. The English, who already sat the Spanish goalkeeper between days 25 and 28, sent him back to the bench in the last game of the season against Wolverhampton in a game in which they played the pass to the Champions League. Willy Caballero was in charge of getting under the sticks.

Lampard was clear at a press conference when asked by the substitute for the Spanish international: “Kepa? It is a choice due to its recent shape. I have made a long reflection on everything, not only on individual positions, but how we evolve as a team. The fact that we have not signed many goals to zero It is not only a reflection of the goalkeeper's work, it is a point on which we must work as a team. “A reflection that comes after a game in which no goal was conceded. Kepa has played 41 games in which he has conceded 58 goals and has left the goal to zero in ten games, numbers that leave him sentenced.

Coach 'blue' justified the change in goal: “It was a choice because of its recent shape and the difficult period for him. I was under the impression that Willy was coming with confidence after a good performance against Manchester United last week (in the Cup). It was what we needed for the game this Sunday. For next season, we'll think about it later. “.
