Enzo Maresca has decided who would be Chelsea’s No. 1 goalkeeper after Robert Sanchez’s costly mistakes. Now, it is Filip Jorgensen’s time.

Chelsea’s boss, Enzo Maresca, has been faced with the dilemma of keeping Robert Sanchez as the No.1 goalkeeper. After much speculation, Maresca announced that Filip Jorgensen would be Chelsea’s new No.1 goalkeeper.

Sanchez Was Underperforming

Maresca’s choice of changing goalkeepers was expected after the team’s recent performances. Sanchez has been struggling recently, and his mistakes have cost Chelsea many games.

This only put more pressure on the player as fans raged against his mistakes. YouTube videos were even made to highlight Sanchez’s mistakes. After all of this, Maresca had a tough decision to make.

Replacing Sanchez With Jorgensen

Maresca has finally made up his mind. He decided to bench Sanchez for a while and give Jorgensen a much-deserved chance.

Here is what the Chelsea head coach said while speaking to the media:

“I said that the Filip solution was also to give Robert some time to recover mentally and physically. But the idea is not to game by game change the keeper. In the last Premier League game, we had Filip and in the FA Cup, it was Robert. Our keeper at the moment is Filip. I spoke with Robert a few days before West Ham where I took the decision to play Filip. I never spoke again with Robert. Filip, exactly the same. They know the situation. This is the situation now and then we will see.”

Who Is Jorgensen?

Now, Jorgensen is Chelsea’s No.1 goalkeeper, and this is definitely his chance to prove himself. The 22-year-old joined Chelsea from Villarreal in the summer of 2024 for around £20 million. He made an appearance in the team’s win over West Ham. This win might have paved the way even more for the young talent to replace Sanchez and try to prove himself.

A Double-edged Decision

While Maresca’s decision will increase Jorgensen’s confidence, it might make Sanchez lose his. Even if Jorgensen stopped goals from being scored, that doesn’t mean Sanchez would be okay with being benched.

Sanchez was the No. 1 goalkeeper for a while, and to be suddenly replaced could hurt any player’s confidence. If Jorgensen weren’t the solution, Maresca’s decision would work against him.

He would be losing matches, and be the reason for Sanchez losing his confidence.

End Of My Chelsea Rant

Now that Chelsea has a new No.1 goalkeeper, fans will hope that the team’s performances start to improve. With Sanchez’s mistakes, the team lost several valuable points in the league race. The mission might be tough for Jorgensen, as fans will wait to see if things will start to change.
