David Luiz Hails Cole Palmer as a World-Class Talent for Chelsea
Former Chelsea defender, David Luiz, has praised attacking midfielder Cole Palmer for his outstanding performances since joining the club. Luiz, who was part of Chelsea’s 2012 and 2017 Champions League-winning teams, described Palmer as a world-class player with exceptional intelligence.
Palmer, who made the move to Chelsea from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, has quickly become a key player for the Blues. His first season was impressive, earning him the PFA Fans’ Player of the Year and Premier League Young Player of the Year awards.
The 22-year-old continues to shine this season, with 14 goals and 6 assists under his belt for manager Enzo Maresca’s side.
Luiz reflected on Palmer’s decision to leave Manchester City, stating, “Cole, like Eden [Hazard], is on another level, he’s a world-class player. He made a tough decision to leave City, but it was the right one. Now everyone can see the incredible talent he has.”
The Brazilian also praised Palmer’s intelligence on the pitch, saying, “He’s an intelligent player, and intelligent players are always hard to defend. He would have fit right into my Chelsea teams from 2012 and 2017. For world-class players, there’s always room.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
