REINA'S RECOVERED FROM DERBY DESPAIR
Pepe Reina insists his derby day blunder has been forgotten as he
prepares for another high-profile Premiership fixture this weekend.
With Liverpool travelling to champions Chelsea on Sunday, Reina's form
will be put under the intense scutiny of the television cameras once
again.
But fresh from keeping a clean sheet in Tuesday's Champions League
clash with PSV, the Spanish keeper admits he's never doubted his own
ability.
"It was important not just for me to keep a clean sheet, but the whole
team. It's better news for us," he says.
"As a goalkeeper, I know I always have to walk the line between making
a mistake and making a save.
"I made a mistake on Saturday, but I always try to forget about it
quickly.
"That's harder after a derby when there are people to remind you what
happened. I know it was a mistake in an important game, but you just
have to keep on going.
"I have experience, and I have made mistakes before and recovered. I
have belief in myself."
