Robert Sanchez admitted that Chelsea didn't play their best against Bournemouth, but he was satisfied with the clean sheet, citing his important role in the match. The game ended in a 0-0 draw at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth started dominantly, but Chelsea gradually found their rhythm as the game progressed, making it more balanced.
The goalkeeper made several crucial saves in the first half, with Alejandro Ganacho's shot hitting the post and former Manchester United player Jorge Petrovic also successfully blocking Pedro Neto's shot. Ultimately, the match ended in a draw, and Robert Sanchez summarized and reflected on the game afterward.
Robert Sanchez said: "Of course, it's disappointing that we didn't win the game. We lost the last game, so we were hoping to make up for it with a win and keep a clean sheet. We created some chances, and I think the team performed well. Although we missed a goal, we ultimately kept a clean sheet and didn't lose the game."
"If we can't win, we try to avoid losing; that's our strategy. We'll accept this point and do our best to take three points in the next game."
Robert Sanchez explained how Chelsea controlled the tempo of the game and gained the upper hand in the second half. Nevertheless, he still needed to perform at his best, successfully saving a powerful shot from Antoine Semenho during a rare Bournemouth attack.
He continued, "I barely had any chances to shoot in the first 20 minutes of the second half, but you know, against Semenio, he can shoot from anywhere at any time. So I had to stay alert, and I did."
“Bournemouth is an excellent team, and they showed a high level of intensity in the first 20 to 30 minutes of the game. We had to deal with that situation, make sure we controlled the tempo of the game both with and without the ball, and observe how the game unfolded. The team did a fantastic job, and that’s how we were able to control the game.”
“We know our goals and the strength of the team, and we want to play at our best. Therefore, we must keep moving forward, strive for as many victories as possible, and keep fighting to win games.”
