Penalties are the most brutal way to divide the winners and losers in football, with Chelsea fans likely to be nostalgic for the 07/08 season when they slipped and flew a penalty in the Champions League final in which they brushed past the team's first Champions League title. Since thomas Tuchel took office, the team has not only shown strong competitiveness on all fronts, but also the "goddess of luck" has also been biased against Chelsea, and in the match against Brentford and Norwich, the opponents' pillars, oolongs, red cards and penalty shots have appeared, and Chelsea needed penalty shoots three times this season, and even won a full victory, showing the team's morale. Thomas Tuchel's strength is also questionable, what is the winning percentage of the Chelsea coach's penalty shootout in recent years?

UEFA Super Cup: Chelsea 1-1 Villarreal; penalty shootout 6-5
Carabao Cup round 3: Chelsea 1-1 Aston Villa; penalty shootout 4-3

Thomas Tuchel has so far achieved a 100% penalty win rate, and all three games have a lot in common, first of all, the team was forced to draw in the case of the first record, and there were players who lost shots during the period, and they were still able to win the game when they were considered to discourage the players, one of the keys was to use the team's deputy goalkeeper Kepa, because Thomas Tuchel believed that the record of saving penalties Kepa was better, and Kepa did not live up to thomas Tuchel's trust. Saved a total of four goals in each successful save to help the team win the European Super Cup and advance to the quarter-finals of the League Cup. Other defenders such as Marcos Alonso, Rees James, Ben Chilwell and others delivered good quality shots during the penalty shootout.

Team "famous star" Lampard faced a considerable dilemma at Chelsea that year, and the "jianghu rescue" returned to coaching. Although the final performance of the team was mixed, it still received the respect of Chelsea fans. However, Chelsea, under its leadership, lost all the penalty shootout stages, and the same process was the same, all failing to save the opponent's shot in the case of a back shot, and the team lost the shot in the crucial fifth round, the European Super Cup final was Lost by Tammy Abraham, and the shot against Tottenham was Lost by Lampard's "love" Mason Mount. Lampard has not been able to bring any titles to the team during his tenure, and it is believed that both Lampard and Chelsea fans will feel sorry.

I believe that when it comes to Sarri leading Chelsea's penalty shootout, you will inevitably recall the League Cup final against Manchester City, first Kepa's "refusal to be replaced", and then lost in the penalty shootout stage, but in fact, Sarri led the team in the penalty shootout stage is "win more and lose less", in which Kepa also successfully saved every game. Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup Semifinals, in which Kepa saved Lucas Mora's penalty and the third round of penalties in its controversial League Cup final. Kepa made another splash in the Europa League Final Four, making consecutive saves in the fourth and fifth rounds, followed by Chelsea's 4-1 victory over Arsenal in the final, which shows that the final four matches have been the biggest test.

Conte led Chelsea to win the Premier League title in the first season, but unfortunately the team's performance fell sharply in the following season, the first match was the community shield against Arsenal, in the regular time draw, the team had Morata, Courtois two people shot obliquely and high respectively, before Conte led the Italian national team, there was a "miracle soldier" Simeone Zaza in the penalty shootout stage shot quite outrageous goals, this game Courtois repeated the same mistakes, so that Conte's arrangement was ridiculed by the outside world. In the second half of the season, the team's performance was more unstable, in the third round of the FA Cup, from the main game to the rematch failed to beat Norwich who was in the Championship at the time, chelsea were expelled from the game in the rematch, and finally could only win or lose by penalty shootout, Chelsea could still seize the opportunity, eliminated the "canary" who had players missed in the first round of five penalties, and finally passed the barrier all the way, winning the championship of the season, becoming a consolation award in Chelsea's disappointing season.
