Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has spoken to the media ahead of his side's clash with Wolves at the weekend and said that he needs a set-piece specialist.
“We work a lot on set pieces," he started. "We have (coaching) specialists. We are a coaching staff in charge of everything. We have a group of analysts for set pieces.
"After that, it is about the quality of the player. It is about the takers. We don’t have a specialist (player). Maybe Chilly is good in the delivery, but we don’t have a specialist after that.
“If you want to be good in set pieces, we work a lot. But then you need good takers. When you have good takers, and of course, Wolves have good takers, and like Manchester City have, or other clubs. It is not down to the work. We work similarly, but the problem is to have good takers.
“Look before at West Ham, and after. What changed? After and before? It’s not the same. The taker is [James] Ward-Prowse. For sure, you can work, like West Ham were working.
"But now, you add a player like him, you increase the percentage. That is football. Football belongs to the players. Not to the (coaching) specialists.”
