Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is enjoying a run in the team right now and is playing very well.
He had to wait a while for his chance, but first team stopper Robert Sanchez going down injured and missing the last few weeks has presented him with an opportunity to stake a claim at the club, and he is most certainly doing that right now.
Many Chelsea fans are calling for him to be the club’s regular number one, but Sanchez will certainly have a few things to say about that.
So what we now have here when Sanchez returns to full fitness, is some real competition for that spot and a big decision for manager Mauricio Pochettino to make.
But Petrovic says he is very close with all the goalkeepers at Chelsea and they all have a really good chemistry. He was also asked about the pending competition he will now face with Sanchez, in words picked up by The Evening Standard.
Petrovic said: “We have pressure, but my team-mates help me a lot, and I try to help them. Everyone helps. The coaching staff are also helping me and everyone.
“The goalkeepers and goalkeeping coaches are all helping and we have a good chemistry between us. If I have something to ask Betts [Marcus Bettinelli], Robert [Sanchez] or Lucas [Bergstrom], we all help each other, and I am also helping.
“Before my first game, before Sheffield United, they said ‘no pressure’… and I felt that pressure, to be honest, and they were just telling me to play my game, and that’s it.”
Having built a good relationship with Sanchez behind the scenes, Petrovic talked up the healthy competition among the goalkeepers at Chelsea.
“I just look at the next game and I just want to help the team,” he said.

“The decision is not on me, it is on the coach and that’s it. We push each other and have a good chemistry and that’s all that’s important.”
