In the final minutes of the second extra time, before the brain-weighing penalty shootout between Chelsea and Man City in the English League Cup final, goalkeeper Kepa showed signs of cramps, and coach Sarri immediately adjusted his personnel when he sent Caballero to replace him.
This is considered a tactical card of Coach Sarri when he trusted Caballero for the penalty shootout because this goalkeeper knew his opponent very well (Caballero had 3 years playing for Man City).
It would be a good thing if goalkeeper Kepa did not react to this decision. Kepa's determination not to leave the field made Coach Sarri crazy in front of his student who voted back. Even though the people involved later explained the misunderstanding after the match. But in a sensitive period when the club were constantly caught up in dressing room folds and reactions, the story may not be that simple.
Why is there such a problem?
Modern football is gradually shifting its core traditional values. The money spinning around the ball, along with the financial ability of the bossos to decide everything. The coach's influence has gradually decreased. The value of players has skyrocketed and there have been more transferring stars.
For the buyers, money is no longer a big problem, as long as the type of player they target is suitable and meets the requirements of their expertise, real value is not a problem. They are willing to spend a mountain of emotional money on the stars they like and are also willing to sell the team's exploits when "old". That is one of the reasons for inheriting the tradition of competing because the love for the club has fading away.
The king sport is strong in market economy, and is practically producing "kings without thrones". Love and pride for the Club are under the ego of the player. They only truly compete when they satisfy their terms of service and are satisfied with their requirements.
Players are satisfied, gradually forgetting the traditional values, ethics, and the true nature of a professional player. They play professional football but with passion. Players compete with a large ego overwhelming the love of the flag and shirt, some players are selfish and create interest groups.
For the coach, the main job is to compete for the cup, find every way to win and get the title quickly. Transfer policies and title shortages distort all the values of the beauty and art of football. Identity and love for the team have become rare.
The current Chelsea club is not too much of a reflection of the problems of modern football, the players who create a precedent go back to the values of the club and the coach wants to gradually form.
The future of the previous coach was always associated with achievements, leadership ability, playing style and team development strategies, but now it is more about the interests of the players than the common interests of the collective.
