Sometimes these things push players apart, but in this case we are more together than ever.” Arrizabalaga was benched by Sarri for the Spurs game, which gave Caballero his first league start of the season, and the Italian boss said that it was the “right decision”. Caballero added there were no hard feelings between him and Arrizabalaga, who became the world’s most expensive goalkeeper when he joined Chelsea for 80 million euros ($90.9 million) last year. “Top players or experienced players make mistakes because we are human beings, we are people. That’s it,” Caballero said. “The good result of this is we have found a lot of people near to him to help him. We trained very well the next day to prepare for the game. “The boss decided to put me in the goal and he (Arrizabalaga) was supporting me in the warm-up, so I think we are in good harmony. As keepers we must support each other.”
