Chelsea Keeper Sanchez Proving His Worth Despite Risky Style

Chelsea's high-risk ball-playing style yields further rewards as Sanchez proves dominant in aerial duels and incisive in distribution.

Despite his risky style of goalkeeping, Robert Sanchez has proven to be a smart signing for Chelsea, showing dominance in aerial duels and providing clean distribution.
His physical attributes, standing at 6ft 4.5in and weighing 90kg, combined with his agility and powerful reflexes have won him praise. He has used his stature effectively, playing a major role in Chelsea's improved defensive stance.
Sanchez has shown excellent anticipation and uses his defenders to minimize shooting angles for attackers. This combination of anticipation and movement, coupled with his agility, has led to memorable saves and points for Chelsea.
Comparatively, Sanchez's overall pass completion in the Premier League stands at an impressive 88.4% and he is confident in playing risky balls, which is appreciated by the team.
Sanchez's distribution and tendency to attempt short passes into the base of Chelsea's midfield reflect a change of strategy since Mauricio Pochettino took over as head coach. The improved approach has given Chelsea greater control of the game.
