Chelsea boss Pochettino: Our penalty numbers make sense

Chelsea star Cole Palmer hopes that he can continue to score penalties for his team.

The attacking midfielder has been dubbed a penalty merchant" by many rival fans.

However, Palmer, his teammates, and manager Mauricio Pochettino all know how much more he offers the team.

He stated recently, per football.london: "I've taken many penalties. People say he just scores penalties, but I'm not going to miss a penalty, am I? Touch wood."

On why his team get so many spot kicks, manager Pochettino stated: "The quality is the idea, the philosophy, it is always thinking to go forward to create chances. We are in the top-four in the Premier League for creating big chances. It is about the philosophy.

"We can see different clubs, they play to try to get goals or chances through set-pieces. But we are Chelsea. We are a big club. At a big club, it is about philosophy to play football, good football, exciting football in the opposition's half to create chances. That is why.

"It is about ideas, philosophy, how we taste football. That is why, our attempts in the last third, there are a lot. That is why often we get penalties. That is a good quality of the team."
