Este curso el meta de Ondárroa ha 'ganado' tres tandas de penaltis consecutivas y fue decisivo en el pase del Chelsea a semifinales de la Carabao Cup
Con la convocatoria de Edouard Mendy para disputar la Copa de África con Senegal, Kepa tendrá la oportunidad de jugar un mínimo de cinco partidos como titular
Después de dos años complicados en Londres, los últimos meses le han servido a Kepa Arrizabalaga para recuperar poco a poco la confianza perdida y volver a parecerse, aunque todavía desde la posición de nº 2 de Edouard Mendy, al portero por el que el Chelsea pagó 80 millones de euros en verano de 2018, la mayor cifra jamás invertida por un guardameta.
Ha 'ganado' tres tandas de penaltis consecutivas
Además de las tres tandas de penaltis consecutivas -Supercopa de Europa (Villarreal) y dieciseisavos (Aston Villa) y octavos (Southampton) de la Carabao Cup- que ha 'ganado' este curso, el pasado miércoles Kepa fue decisivo en el pase de los de Thomas Tuchel a semifinales de la Copa de la Liga, donde se verán las caras con el Tottenham del ex técnico 'blue' Antonio Conte.
Con 0-0 en el luminoso, el de Ondárroa evitó que el Brentford se pusiera por delante hasta en tres ocasiones: primero con dos intervenciones milagrosas a sendos cabezazos de Wissa y Jensen y posteriormente imponiéndose a Rico Henry en un mano a mano. Una actuación que le valió los elogios de Tuchel, que aseguró que el nivel mostrado por el ex del Athletic Club "ya no es una sorpresa. Está en ese estado mental en el que simplemente cumple. Hace lo que se supone que debe hacer y esto es lo que muestra todos los días en los entrenamientos. Estoy seguro de que esta es la razón por la que tiene estas asombrosas actuaciones", explicó el alemán.
Ahora, con la convocatoria de Mendy para disputar la próxima Copa de África con Senegal, Kepa tendrá la oportunidad de jugar un mínimo de cinco partidos como titular: Liverpool (Premier League, 2/1), Tottenham (ida semifinales Carabao Cup, 5/1), Chesterfield (tercera ronda FA Cup, 8/1), Tottenham (vuelta semifinales Carabao Cup, 12/1) y Manchester City (Premier, 15/1).
Mendy estará fuera, como mínimo, hasta el 18
La selección de de Aliou Cissé se medirá en la primera fase de dicha competición a Zimbabue (10/1), Guinea (14/1) y Malawi (18/1) y, en caso de ir avanzando, jugaría los octavos de final el 23 o 24/1, los cuartos el 29 o 30/1, las 'semis' el 2 o 3/2 y la gran final, el 6 de febrero. En dicha situación, Kepa también podría ponerse bajo palos contra el Tottenham (Premier, 23/1) y en la semifinal del Mundial de Clubs programada para el 9 de febrero. Una oportunidad de oro para que Kepa siga demostrando su valía y, por qué no, pueda recuperar su condición de nº 1 en Stamford Bridge.
