The difference between Palmer for England and Palmer for Chelsea

Cole Palmer is a regular corner taker for England but has only taken two for Chelsea this season, highlighting a tactical difference between the national team and the club.

Palmer delivered two wicked crosses against Uruguay, leading to a goal for Ben White, yet Chelsea's set-piece coach, Bernardo Cueva, rarely utilizes him in this role.

While manager Thomas Tuchel trusts Palmer's delivery, the Blues appear to prefer different set-piece routines, keeping him in the box for rebounds rather than taking the dead ball.
