Former Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has said that goalkeeper Robert Sánchez surprised him during the Club World Cup final match against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.
Mikel had earlier criticised the Spaniard, calling on the club to sell him. But he has had a change of mind about him after yesterday’s game.
Chelsea surprised the football world by beating PSG 3-0 at the MetLife Stadium in the presence of US President Donald Trump.
Prior to the game, Mikel had urged the Blues to sign a new goalkeeper before the new Premier League season.
However, Sánchez helped the Blues beat the Champions League holders and won the best goalkeeper of the tournament award.
He kept three clean sheets in the competition, and Mikel now feels different about the Spain international.
He told DAZN, “I’m surprised, he had a really good game today. Credit when credit is due. He did play a good game today. This save here—brilliant save, strong hands.
“That’s what you need from a goalkeeper. I’m very, very happy for him.
