Cucurella Urges Sanchez to Stay Focused After Losing Chelsea Starting Spot
Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has spoken out in support of his teammate Robert Sanchez, encouraging the goalkeeper to keep working hard and avoid unnecessary attention as he navigates a difficult period in his career.
Sanchez, who secured his spot as Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the season under new manager Enzo Maresca, has faced increasing scrutiny after a series of costly mistakes in the Premier League.
Maresca has already taken action, dropping Sanchez in favor of Filip Jörgensen for Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over West Ham United. This decision has fueled speculation that the manager may permanently replace him as the club’s main goalkeeper.
When asked about Sanchez’s situation in an interview with AS, Cucurella acknowledged the challenges but expressed confidence that his teammate will recover.
“It’s a tough time for him, but what matters most is that he keeps working and stays away from too much attention,” Cucurella said. “Every player at Chelsea has had difficult moments. The key thing is to stay focused, keep pushing, and be ready for the next opportunity when it comes.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
