Chelsea goalkeeper Philippe Jorgensen, who started the 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the Soccer Champions Tour 2024 on Tuesday. Has pleaded with head coach Enzo Maresca to use him in the starting eleven more often. So he can continue to produce consistent results.
Jorgensen joined from La Liga side Villarreal for £21m on a seven-year deal and has been a regular starter since. UFABET But has made his first start at the Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina, USA.
Overall, there was nothing outstanding. The only complaint was that he was slow to intercept the ball. Allowing Brahim Diaz to run to the ball first, before he dodges it and shoots it into the net.
The Swedish goalkeeper believes that to fix his shortcomings. He needs to be used more often so he can figure out his teammates.
“Of course I am happy to play my first game at this club,” he told the club’s official website.
“I’m glad to get more game time and I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone better on and off the field. From here, we’ll go home, take a short break and get back to work.”
As for the relationship between the defenders and the goalkeeper and head coach Maresca’s idea of wanting him to stand 4-5 meters lower. That is homework that he must participate in.
“I think our defense did a good job, but there are some areas where we need to improve,”
“Including myself, who had to step out of the goal to stand higher up when the defenders were pushing high. Which we still have time to polish before the Premier League kicks off in two weeks.”
“My teammates did it. I think it was me who had to go higher to leave the least amount of space to attack. We just need to get to know each other better and practice some things.”
Chelsea currently have six goalkeepers in their first-team squad. In addition to Jorgensen : Robert Sanchez , Kepa Arrizabalaga , Georgi Petrovic , Marcus Bettinelli and Lucas Bergstrom .
