I mean, my view about Sanchez really is, you know, all good teams or great teams or trophy winning teams need a very good goalkeeper.
I don't think Sanchez is a very good goalkeeper.
I don't think he's good enough for Chelsea, certainly, if they're going to go on and win things this season.
As for Rossini, it's a big, big jump for him.
I think it's pretty ugly and it's very far from the beautiful game.
The kind of stuff we're seeing now on a regular basis.
Now that everybody's got somebody putting a long throw in, it used to be a couple of teams, you know, and it was Rory Dillap and a couple of others years ago.
Now we're getting these melees and NFL style blocking going on in the penalty area all the time.
Is the World Cup going to be like that?
They've got it down to a tee and they're scoring all those goals.
But I'd like to ask this of Xhaka.
I mean, you mentioned the difficult path goalkeepers have to the ball.
There are people in there who are only there not to win the ball, just to impede the goalkeeper.
Do you think there needs to be some kind of legislation about all of this to, well, give the goalkeepers a bit more protection, frankly?
Well, yeah, I mean, City have drawn three in a row.
That's why I went for a draw.
