Kepa Arrizabalaga took the opportunity to explain his actions after he appeared to refuse to be substituted during Sunday's Carabao Cup final.
The goalkeeper had twice received treatment towards the end of the game, with substitute Willy Caballero primed to take his place in goal for the closing stages and penalty shootout.

However, when seeing his number appear on the fourth official’s board, Kepa refused to leave the field as he felt he was able to continue.

Maurizio Sarri earlier explained the misunderstanding in his post-match press conference, and Kepa gave further clarification shortly afterwards.

‘First of all, I have to say it was misunderstood,’ said the goalkeeper. ‘In no moment was it my intention to disobey, or anything like that with the boss. Just that it was misunderstood, because I had been attended to by the medics twice, and he thought that I wasn’t in condition to continue. It was two or three minutes of confusion until the medics got to the bench, and they explained everything well.

‘This was nothing to do with the problems I had this week, with [hamstring] it wasn’t that. And, well, it was misunderstood. Because he thought I couldn’t continue, and - fundamentally - I was trying to say that physically I was fine.

‘I know if you see it from outside, I don’t know how it went out, it is not the best image. I have spoken with the boss. I think it was misunderstood. I understand that on television, on social media, they’re talking about this but I am here to explain it, to say that it wasn’t my intention to go against the manager. We have spoken now, and I was only trying to say I’m fine. He thought I wasn’t fine.

‘I don’t think it has to be the major act of this final. I understand we played a good level against one of the best teams in the world. We were close to winning, obviously we’re sad that we didn’t, and I think the team needs to continue playing like this, because today we’ve shown we can compete against the best teams. Among the negatives, we have to take the positives.’

I couldn't even finish the video. It is a disgrace. What are they smoking at Stamford Bridge?

Ibime:


Chei. Do you have £72m to buy him?

FBS:

Nah, I'm not surprised. Double standard is the norm here.
Jogginho the useless one, the backward pass master.
This is what the club has subscribed to.

humblesteve:
So we dey same zanga

FBS:
Great players yes but Joggingho definitely isn't one....not yet and If that were to be another player say Willian, I personally would have had 20 mentions . Mostly nonsense rants anyway. So yeah Jogginho is rubbish.

And if Hazard had missed? Ojigbijigbi! Even you sef know what would have happened on this thread.

Kepa felt he could play on and did save a penalty, after all he is a keepa . Chelsea did not lose because of Kepa and as Mr. Sarri said, it was a misunderstanding.

Balogun....mention monikers biko!

TalabiAudu:



Naso. Just came here on weekend for the election, will leave soon.

I like this area though

afrodoc2:


It is hard to pile on anyone for a missed penalty. Some of the greatest players have missed and in more woeful ways.
In addition the focus of attention is on Aribisala and his impudence, and rightly so.

Excallibur:
At least we now know why he does the same subs everytime...they are the only players that will agree to come out

FBS:

Why should I? if you know, you know.

Leyqute:


Yes, I got you. However, given the attention on him, he shouldn’t be taking penalties in that manner, especially since he’s the first taker.

If it had gone in despite the lame manner in which he kicked it, he’d be okay. I think he should get some stick cos of the technique he used AND the fact that he lost it.

Aguero’s penalty was also lame but it went in. Sane and Luiz lost their penalties but they took them well. Jogginho did a little ineffective hop before kicking the ball tamely, what d heck was that?

Its Monday morning let’s get this bread folks

If sarri was mourinho
