Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola has said his players are the ones who will continue to decide the penalty kick taker at the club.
Pep believes it is the normal thing to do because there are so many quality players at the club.
According to him, more goals will be scored via penalties and it could even be when the team needs it the most.
He, however, added that all penalty kick takers must strike the ball with conviction so proper practice is needed during training.
His words, “It’s not normal for the quality we have, but like I said to them the next one we’re going to score and the taker [must] be convinced, practice and be convinced and do it,”
“Next time we’re going to score and maybe it will be when we need it the most.”
“[De Bruyne] is one option, but in the end they decide,”
“I like it when players gave the initiative to do it.
“We didn’t score against Spurs in the Champions League last season, this season against Spurs we miss a penalty; in these kind of games it’s a big difference.
“I like the mentality, I like Sergio taking the ball and wanting to take it. Practice, be positive, one idea, shoot and score a goal.”
