Premier League: Mauricio Pochettino Refuses to Tolerate Chelsea Players Battling for Penalty Kicks.

Mauricio Pochettino, the coach of Chelsea football club, expressed his strong disappointment over a recent incident involving a disagreement over who should take a penalty kick during their impressive 6-0 win against Everton.

The dispute arose between players Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke, which eventually led to Cole Palmer successfully scoring his fourth goal from the penalty spot.

Pochettino made it clear to his players that he will not tolerate such behavior and expects it to never happen again in the future, especially after such a remarkable performance.

He stressed the importance of teamwork and collective thinking in order for the team to reach greater heights.

Cole Palmer, who is Chelsea's regular penalty taker and has converted nine spot-kicks this season, was initially denied the ball by Madueke.

However, team Captain Conor Gallagher intervened and passed the ball to Palmer, who then had to fend off Jackson in order to take the penalty.

Pochettino later addressed the issue, emphasizing that all players are aware of Palmer's role as the designated penalty taker and that he must make the decision whether to pass the ball to a teammate.

Palmer himself played down the incident, stating that while other players may have wanted to take the penalty, he felt responsible as the designated taker and wanted to seize the opportunity. 

He mentioned that the incident highlighted everyone's eagerness to win and take on responsibility, despite the moment feeling a bit exaggerated. This was Palmer's second consecutive hat-trick at home, following a crucial penalty goal against Manchester United earlier in the month.

Pochettino went on to comment on the team's lack of experience in handling pressure situations, pointing out that in their previous important matches, he didn't see the same level of determination and unity when it came to taking penalties.

He noted that it's easy for players to want to take penalties when the score is already comfortable but stressed the importance of maintaining their professionalism and focusing on the team's success as a whole.
