Robert Is the N1 - Maresca Settles Chelsea Goal Debate
Maresca has finally cleared the air on who is the penalty taker for Chelsea.
The Italian has been in charge of the Blues for just over a month, but he has already made a big decision about who will take penalties.
Robert is the man for Chelsea
Maresca has confirmed that Robert will be Chelsea's first-choice penalty taker, ahead of Jorginho and Timo Werner.
The German has been in fine form since joining Chelsea from RB Leipzig in the summer, but Maresca believes Robert is the more experienced and reliable option from the spot.
"Robert is a very good penalty taker," Maresca said. "He has a lot of experience and he is very confident. I trust him to take the penalties for us."
Robert has a good record from the spot, having scored 12 of his 15 penalties for Chelsea.
He has also scored penalties for his previous clubs, including Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Robert's experience and reliability will be a valuable asset to Chelsea in the coming months.
The Blues are still in contention for the Premier League title, the Champions League, and the FA Cup.
They will need to be clinical from the spot if they are to win any of those trophies.
With Robert as their penalty taker, Chelsea have a good chance of success.
