Maurizio Sari: Chelsea "does not intend to kill" goalkeeper Kiba Arizabalaga

Chelsea goalkeeper Kripa Arazibalaga made a big mistake in rebellion and refused to ask Sari to replace him in the Champions League final against Manchester City, Chelsea coach Maurizio Sari said on Tuesday. . "

Sari, speaking Wednesday on the eve of Chelsea's confrontation with Tottenham Hotspur, reiterated Chelsea's decision to pay a week's notice to punish his rebellion and disobedience.

Kiba, who joined Atlético Bilbao in Chelsea for $ 93 million – a record for a goalkeeper – refused to leave the stadium after Sari decided to replace him with Willi Capalero.

Sari was furious after that, leaving the ground for the locker room, but he changed his mind and came back later to attend Chelsea's 4-3 defeat by penalty shootout.

"I talked to the goalkeepers, and of course to Kiba, and then we discussed and apologized to Kiba, but that was not enough," Sari told reporters.

"I think he's made a big mistake, but we have to go beyond that, we do not want to kill him, so the club has announced his position," he said. "

But Sari refused to say whether Kiba would be Chelsea's goalkeeper against Tottenham or Arsenal and Manchester United for a spot in the Champions League.

"I have to make a decision, maybe yes and maybe not, it will be a common decision for all players," he said.

The 60-year-old Italian coach said he "was feeling no pressure" after Chelsea's defeats in recent days, including against Manchester City and Manchester United.
