Maresca Calls Palmer a Top Player and Urges Him to Keep Giving His Best
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has openly praised Cole Palmer, calling him the best player in the team. However, he wants the young star to show more drive right from the start of games. Palmer had earlier admitted he was “bored” during the UEFA Europa Conference League final against Real Betis, saying he was tired of passing the ball backwards and sideways.
Despite Chelsea conceding early in that game, Palmer stepped up with two key assists, helping the Blues to a 4-1 win. In their recent Club World Cup opener against LAFC, Palmer played seven passes into the final third and created a chance, though he didn’t get on the scoresheet.
Speaking after that match, Maresca said, “This is the version of Cole we love to see. After the Conference League final, he said he got bored and decided to change the game—and he did. “I told him the next day, ‘Why wait so long? Why not start like that from the first minute? Against LAFC, he did just that. He played the way we’ve been asking. Cole is a top player, and when he performs like this, we’re very happy. Hopefully he keeps it up.”
