Mauricio Pochettino has admitted it’s one rule for him and one rule for his players when it comes to falling foul of the law.<\/p>\n
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson revealed this week how Pochettino forced him to do extra running as punishment for a ban.<\/p>\n
Jackson was hit with a one-match suspension for picking up five yellow cards in his first six Premier League games.<\/p>\n
And he was despatched to do gruelling extra laps of the training ground as a result by Chelsea’s taskmaster manager.<\/p>\n
Jackson said: ‘One day I was running I didn’t know why. They just called me out to run. It was laps, really hard, the intensity, then I was lying down when I finished.<\/p>\n

‘The coach spoke to me and told me to be careful. When you show a card, you get a yellow card. I’m planning to change that.’<\/p>\n
But Pochettino is serving a touchline ban himself against Newcastle on Saturday after being booked for having a go at the referee in matches against Brighton, Burnley and Manchester City this season.<\/p>\n
And the Chelsea boss joked that he has chosen a different punishment to the one he meted out to Jackson.<\/p>\n
Pochettino said: ‘He needed to run! And for me? I am going to pay for a dinner.<\/p>\n
‘I am going to pay for a dinner because I get suspended now. Because I cannot run… I would prefer to pay!<\/p>\n

Pochettino made striker Nicolas Jackson do extra running for picking up a suspension\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I am taking the players and staff out for a barbecue. It will be a lot!’<\/p>\n
Pochettino also revealed how he has vowed to get tough with Cole Palmer – to push him out of his comfort zone.<\/p>\n
Palmer, who has been involved in six goals in his past five league games, played for England against Malta and North Macedonia.<\/p>\n
But Pochettino wants to keep him grounded, saying: ‘It’s about pushing them to keep outside of their comfort zone.<\/p>\n
‘After playing a few games well, because we are only human beings, we find this comfortable zone.<\/p>\n
‘So our responsibility is to push him every day to the uncomfortable zone – and being tough with the players.’<\/p>\n
