Cole Palmer's penalty role PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Soccer News in Nigeria from Pulse Sports The playmaker was unsuccessful from 12 yards in the Blues’ 1-0 Premier League win over Leicester City on Sunday, failing to convert a penalty for the first time. Responding to questions about penalty practice and Palmer's role, the Italian manager stated that he expects Palmer to take and miss more penalties in the future. Maresca emphasised that the playmaker is the designated taker, and with that responsibility comes the inevitable risk of misses. “I said Cole is going to miss more penalties and the reason why is because he is the one in charge to shoot the penalties,” said Maresca on the eve of Chelsea’s Conference League fixture with Copenhagen. “If you don't shoot, you don't miss. So I don't have any doubts that he is going to miss more penalties in the future, but he is also going to score more penalties. I don't think that the other day affected him in a negative way” Maresca's comments came after Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain's recent penalty shootouts, prompting questions about Chelsea's own preparations. The Blues face Copenhagen on Thursday, keen to avoid a shock exit against the Danish side in the competition’s last 16 after a first-leg 2-1 advantage. What next for Chelsea?
