Chelsea midfielder kept a cool head as he prepared to take a penalty against Everton in their English Premier League game at Goodison Park.
Everton’s defender Jerry Mina did all his best to get into his head after Dacoure conceded the penalty. But the Italian said all he thought about was his miss at Wembley during Euro 2020 final when he faced England and Everton keeper Jordan Pickford. Jorginho was denied by Pickford. But in Saturday’s game he wasn’t going to let Pickford have his way.
“Of course you think about it, you worry during the week, thinking what the keeper might do at that moment. I took a decision and fortunately it was the right decision this time.”
“Definitely, for me penalty is 70-75 per cent in the head, so I thought a lot, I trained and fortunately today it went well.”
Chelsea held on to the slim lead to collect all three points.
