Jurgen Klopp's men got to lift the Europa League thanks to a miss from the Blues academy star, but he has no fear of stepping up once again
Tammy Abraham is ready to step up and take another penalty after his effort was saved by Liverpool's Adrian in the UEFA Super Cup in Istanbul on Wednesday night.
“I’m always someone who believes in myself on penalties," Abraham said in Istanbul. "I had a few last season and a few important ones. Unfortunately today, probably one of my most important ones, I missed. It’s about how I react and just get my head up.
“I need to keep going. I’ve scored a few. Unfortunately, I missed one of the most important ones for Chelsea. Keep going. They say the top players always miss penalties and it’s about how you react. I’ve just got to keep pushing myself.
"The boys have made it feel like nothing has even happened. Everyone’s had their arms around me. They’ve said the best players miss, it’s something to learn from. It’s better it happened now than later on. You grow into a man and learn from it.
"It’s a great bunch of boys. Now we’ve just got to focus on the game against Leicester."
“It is what it is. If they saw it, they saw. If they didn’t, they didn’t. That’s football at the end of the day,” he added.

Nice words from you son! Soldier on!! Though I'm not happy you are starting ahead of Giroud and Batsman. That's a step too far or too early for you.. Rashford is more talented but it took him time to become a regular in United but Lampard feels "I will give the youths a chance" will save him from getting sacked. Abramovivch might already started oiling his guns.
