In no moment was it my intention to disobey, or anything like that with the boss.

3Sarri had one or two things to say to Kepa but the two were separated at the end of the gameJust that it was misunderstood, because I had been attended to by the medics twice, and he thought that I wasnt in condition to continue.It was two or three minutes of confusion until the medics got to the bench, and they explained everything well.This was nothing to do with the problems I had this week, with [my hamstring] it wasnt that. And, well, it was misunderstood. Because he thought I couldnt continue, and – fundamentally – I was trying to say that physically I was fine.I know if you see it from the outside, I dont know how it went out, it is not the best image. I have spoken with the boss. I think it was misunderstood.I understand that on television, on social media, theyre talking about this but I am here to explain it, to say that it wasnt my intention to go against the manager.
3Maurizio Sarri was left incensed by Kepa’s refusal to leave the pitchWe have spoken now, and I was only trying to say Im fine. He thought I wasnt fine.Kepas actions appeared to undermine Sarri, who could face the sack after failing to win the first major trophy of the season.The Italian is under increasing pressure as Chelsea have lost three of their previous four Premier League games.Sarri downplayed Kepas refusal to come off and claimed it was a ‘misunderstanding’.The row is set to only increase speculation over Sarris future at Stamford Bridge. Kepa added: I dont think it has to be the major act of this final. I understand we played a good level against one of the best teams in the world.We were close to winning, obviously were sad that we didnt, and I think the team needs to continue playing like this, because today weve shown we can compete against the best teams.Among the negatives, we have to take the positives.
