⚔️ Sanchez Admits Chelsea Struggled vs Palace Midfield

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has admitted the Blues struggled to play through Crystal Palace’s midfield during their goalless draw at Stamford Bridge. The match marked the start of Chelsea’s Premier League campaign, but a lack of creativity and sharpness was evident.

Sanchez pointed to a short pre-season and injuries as contributing factors. “We couldn’t find the rhythm,” he said, acknowledging Palace’s compact shape and pressing intensity.

Manager Enzo Maresca will need to find solutions quickly as Chelsea aims to bounce back in their next fixture.
